people are not always an organization’s most important assets. In fact, the idea that

It depends. But I think you can be an effective manager no matter the cost restraints the
company may have. Effective management of people has more to do with how well you
know your people, the organization and how good you are at interacting with others. Cost-
containment pressures can make the job more difficult but are the skills that make you a
good manager
