What is Management about?

Here is a list to start:
  • communication
  • figure out priorities
  • set expectation and eliminate surprises
  • plan ahead (includes planning for resources and potential issues)
  • take away barriers
  • execution
  • any more?
It's funny that management can be anywhere, like telling your wife you'll be late for dinner. That's communication and setting expectation.
