The goal of business management is to maximize the organization's profit by utilizing time-tested management principles in unique and creative ways specific to the needs of the organization.
The bottom line in any profit-oriented business is to maximize profit. Even non-profit organizations have
goals. And part of that goal is to manage the organization's resources effectively. For that to happen,

Effective business management doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design.
I have mentioned the need to have the right leadership at the helm of affairs. That is non-negotiable.

If the potential leader is lacking some foundational business leadership traits, then he needs to be given the adequate executive coaching to succeed at his new assignment. Otherwise you're preparing him for failure.
The truth is . . . leadership is no easy task. Everything rises and falls on the leader. The business or business unit fails or succeeds depending on the leader.

That is the path to business management success.
