Business Leader-Manager
The context to which businesses today exist requires that every
organization 's performance should be at the best as they adhere to their
plans . This is done to efficiently and effectively achieve their goals
in line with the plans that they have . It has been proposed by Osborne
and Gaebler that in the public sphere , which is mainly that of the
government , there should be a catalytic spirit where the principle is
``steering rather than rowing (Borins Altshiler 34 . Adopting this
in the business organizations , it is seen that while the boat is being
rowed , there should be a larger entity which oversees everything else
and steers the boat towards the desired outcomes . Thus , there is a need

which are directly subordinates and , taking from the definition provided
by Brounstein , directly report to the manager .
The manager is considered by Caroselli to be someone who ensures that
things are done towards a specific set of goals that include tasks of
``planning , directing , controlling , hiring , delegating , assigning ,
organizing , motivating , disciplining , or doing any number of things
managers do on a daily basis (1 . From the list of the
responsibilities that the managers have on their shoulders , it is
observed that these are routine tasks which are needed by the
organizations to survive . These tasks give them the chance to build the
status quo and order within their business and provide for a harmonious
relationship both inside and outside . Likewise , these are requirements
that are to be adhered to for purposes of survival .
It is also the argument of Murrell , Formisano , and Meredith when they
mention that it is the actions manifested by the manager that...
