Management Professional
Management professionals plan, direct, or coordinate the operations of companies or public and private sector organizations by formulating policies, managing daily operations, and planning the use of materials and human resources. They work within diverse organizations and agencies such as service businesses (finance, insurance, creative, design, hospitality, sales, travel, accounting, advertising and media, retail), manufacturing, construction, medicine, education, and government to promote efficient and effective operations. Managers should be flexible, decisive, analytical, and detail-oriented, with good communication and interpersonal skills. Each industry or profession often requires additional specific education or training for its management professionals.
