Description

Have you ever wondered why we manage our teams or institutions the way we do? Or how did management even become a discipline? Today, we'll journey back to uncover where management thinking began and how it has evolved. From the ancient roots of "manus" (Latin for "hand") to modern theories that emphasise people, context, and ever-changing environments. We will see that "what management is" truly depends on the perspective of how we approach it.
