Abstract
This chapter provides a definition of management and leadership and discusses the general process of management. Management processes and roles frame all leadership activities. Broad areas of management skills and roles are then presented; the chapter concludes with a discussion of the problem-solving method (the scientific method for a leadership role). The content in this chapter forms the foundation for specific leadership responsibilities that are addressed in Part II of this book.
