A manager must not leave matters to change.He should be in a position to guide events so that things turn out the way he wants them to happen.He must always be on the look out for this.
Development of people.
The most important task of a manager is to develop people. Not only will this make his own job easier,but he will have people ready to take over from him when there is an opportunity for promotion to a higher post.

It is one thing to have a policy laid down on paper but it is an entirely diffferent thing to ensure that the policies are carried out. For example,many organizations have executive development schemes, but very few of their senior executive get down to details and check whether their men are really being developed.
