    Management involves coordinating and overseeing the work of others to accomplish organizational goals efficiently and effectively. There are three levels of management: top managers make organization-wide decisions, middle managers oversee first-line managers, and first-line managers directly manage non-managerial employees. The functions of management include planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Managers also fulfill interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles. Successful managers require technical, human, and conceptual skills.
