Management Careers
How to Start a Management Career
Businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations all need managers to keep their operations running and help them to reach their goals. In a small business, there may be one owner/manager who does it all, but in larger organizations there are many levels of management. Office managers supervise clerical staff. Project managers assemble teams of works to bring specific tasks from conception to conclusion. Middle managers direct employees and operations in business support services or in main business operations. Top executives in upper management guide organizations by determining overall objectives and the strategies by which to reach them.
Companies promote or hire managers with proven track records and demonstrated leadership skills. The education you need varies with the level of management and the type of business in which you work.
