By Hitesh Bhasin | May 27, 2019 | Filed Under: Management

In a day, we have to perform many different activities. From attending meetings to handling emails to doing the core work. Even in personal lives, we have multiple activities like having good hygiene, working out and others. Just like that, Management is an Activity which you have to do daily.

As a manager, when you to work, you have multiple plans to implement, all of which have to be organized. An efficient manager always has his plans worked out in advance. But even if the plans are ready, he needs the manpower, processes, and materials in place. Only then can the plan be successful.

Thus, before everything else, you have to look at management as an activity.

The first thing we do when we want to have an event is hiring an event manager. Why is that? Because the activity of an event manager is to plan and conduct the event. Thus, for the event manager, management is an activity which he is focused on.

The event manager on his part will have a DJ, Food caterers, and decorators who are doing their own individual tasks. But the activity of management will be done by the Event decorator only.
