Resource Management. Selected Readings in Management
Abstract
To gain a working knowledge of this subject, it is emphasized that management is only part of our overall concept of command. Command is the authority an individual in the Military Service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of his rank and assignment. It carries with it responsibility for planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling military forces to accomplish assigned, implied, or inherent missions together with administrative responsibility for supply, for the health, welfare, morale, discipline, assignment, and relief of personnel. Management is inherent in command. Civilian management usually includes much less authority and responsibility than that vested in the military commander. Command is, therefore, a broader functional area and encompasses the processes of management. Leadership also comes under the purview of command. In practice, management and leadership are extensively interconnected. At the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, leadership is taught as a separate subject. The broader topic of motivation runs through all the instruction on command and management.
