Good article – management is too often viewed as a bolt-on to your ‘real’ job, and not a role in itself. Building on your 6th and 7th points, management (of both processes and people) is a skill that needs to be learnt and developed, just as you would develop sales skills, negotiation skills, finance skills and so on.
Too often, a great finance or sales person (or someone from any function) is put into a management position and expected to simply ‘start managing’ things. You’d never (I hope!) put someone untrained in finance in a position to do your accounting, so why put someone untrained in management in a position to manage your business?
