Management" (from Old French ménagement "the directing", from Latin manu agere "to lead by the hand") characterises the process of leading and directing all or part of an organisation, often a business, through the deployment and manipulation of resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible). Early twentieth-century management writer Mary Parker Follett defined management as "the art of getting things done through people."
One can also think of management functionally, as the action of measuring a quantity on a regular basis and of adjusting some initial plan, and as the actions taken to reach one's intended goal. This applies even in situations where planning does not take place. From this perspective, there are five management functions: planning, organizing, leading, co-ordinating and controlling. For others though, this definition, while useful, is far too narrow. The phrase "management is what managers do" is also prevalent, conveying the difficulty with which management is defined, the shifting nature of definitions, and the connection of managerial practices with the existence of a managerial cadre or class.
Management is known by some as "business administration", although this then excludes management in places outside business, eg charities and the public sector. University departments that teach management are nonetheless usually called "business schools". The term "management" may also be used as a collective word, describe the managers of an organization, for example of a corporation.

Management can be an individual or team effort depending on the size of what you will manage. "Management" is what you do in everything -- including life. You set the course toward an objective, lay out the various steps that you believe will get you to your objective, and you execute each step to get there. If things change along the way, you make adjustments to accommodate those changes but you continue to steer for the objective. If you want to play the piano, you do your homework and find out what types of resources and disciplines you need to learn to play the piano and then you follow those steps.
An organization is just another element to be managed. If the organization is yours, you determine what the organization is going to do, assemble the needed resources (like money, talented staff, etc.), and lay out the company's plan to achieve the objectives you've designed for it.
Management is like choreography. A truely good manager of an organization is a very good choreographer who has learned how to use the available tools to make the company move in the most desirable direction and achieve its objectives. A great orchestra conductor assembles a large team of musicians -- many of whom play different instruments and have different skills -- to articulate a music score (a plan) and create beautiful music.
That's management. Everyone working together, in harmony, to achieve an agreed objective.

The role of management in any organization is to bring together a team and direct them to achieve whatever goals, strategies and plans the organization puts forth.
To ensure they work together using individuals skills to promote a balanced team.
The best manager surrounds themselves with people who posses skills other than what the manager has, acknowledges said skills and encourages individuals to learn from each other. In such a way they then respect each member of the team for what they contribute and it develops a stronger team.
The worst manager surrounds themselves with people who posses the same skills and mindset as the manager. This brings together a team of "yes" men/women who inevitably never think 'out of the box' and don't achieve their goals as well as those of the team of a better manager.

Managment is secondary in power, to the owners of the organization or buisness.
