Is Management A Profession?

I get called to fix people problems and I’m really good at that. However, most often the person I’m helping has a supervisor or executive team member who has huge gaps in their own management skills. For example here are some of the deficiencies I observe:

Lack of knowledge and application of that knowledge regarding the differences in people otherwise know as personality differences

Stagnant professional development

Deficient skills in the areas of providing and getting feedback, coaching for improvement, delegating, holding people accountable, listening, etc.

Engaging in ineffective and unproductive behaviors
