Managerial Qualities

A manager, without a doubt, needs to have some inherent characteristics. Maybe some people need more work than others and there are personalities that tend to fit better to a managerial profile. However, I believe that most, if not all people can become good managers.

In business, people focus on leadership rather than management. Although a charismatic leader can bring vision and new ideas in a company, it is the management that has to find the optimal implementation strategy.
