In the corporate world, the job title of 'manager' carries with it prestige and authority, but it also comes along with enormous responsibilities. It is a loaded job title; any individual placed in such a position bears the burden of seeing to it that people under his or her charge are mobilized to not only be productive, but also have their capabilities optimized and their potential realized. But that's not even the half of it; managers are also entrusted with the task of solving all sorts of problems in the workplace and diffusing conflict among team members, all for the sake of ensuring harmony within the team under one's charge, so that productivity will not be interrupted.
