One point which emerges from this scenario is that managers, as those who are ‘professional’ organizers and coordinators, are distinct from management,1 in the sense of the kinds of organizing and coordinating which everyone, including managers of course, have to do some of, and which goes on all the time in a whole variety of different ways, beginning with ‘self-management’ at the individual level. But it is those who spend most or all of their time organizing and coordinating activities and other people, who we typically refer to as managers.
