Task 21. Translate into English.
1. Упродовж всієї історії завжди існували люди, які діяли як менеджери. Про це свідчать історичні записи. 2. Термін “менеджер” американського походження. Його датують серединою 19 століття. 3. Історичні записи минулих століть містять згадки про надзвичайні лідерські якості та дії окремих історичних постатей. 4. Дати визначення поняттю “менеджмент” не так легко, як декому здається. 5. У спрощеному вигляді менеджмент визначають як “те, чим займаються менеджери”. 6. Завданням менеджменту є об’єднання людей для досягнення бажаних цілей. 7. Англійці часто вживають слово “менеджмент” у збірному значенні для позначення усієї сукупності керівників даної організації. 8. Окремий менеджер безпосередньо керує людьми в компанії. 9. Менеджери несуть відповідальність за прийняття та виконання рішень у межах організації. 10. Менеджмент є необхідною складовою багатьох видів діяльності, наприклад будівництва висотної будівлі, керівництва роботою супермаркету тощо. 11. Без менеджменту не можна обійтися на виробництві та у сфері послуг, та навіть під час проведення церковних служб. 12. Завдяки управлінню своїми ресурсами – людьми, процесами, технологіями і т.д. – компанії прагнуть досягнути максимуму ефективності. 13. Менеджмент не є суто діловим феноменом: менеджери потрібні й у неприбуткових (некомерційних) організаціях. 14. Основними функціями менеджменту є планування, організація, кадрове забезпечення, спрямування (мотивування) та контроль. 15. Будь-яка управлінська система на всіх управлінських рівнях характеризується з точки зору цих загальних функцій. 16. Планування – це вирішення, що має статися в майбутньому, і розробка плану дій. 17. Організація (також відома як імплементація) – це оптимальне використання ресурсів, які є необхідними, щоб успішно реалізувати плани. 18. Виявлення лідерських та мотивуючих навичок для стимулювання інших з метою досягнення їх ефективної участі в досягненні планів є однією з ключових управлінських функцій. 19. Забезпечення добровільної участі працівників у роботі організації становить сутність мотивуючої функції менеджменту. 20. Контроль – це аналіз успішності виконання планів, що також передбачає внесення до них доцільних змін на підставі зворотного зв’язку.

“Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.” (John D. Rockefeller)
