I believe management is an art because it takes time to learn this area, and there is constant room for improvement. I say an art because I think of it is learning how to play an instrument. The concepts are abstract and not concrete when it comes to business. Nothing is black and white, but more of grey. Many employers want their Managers to have a skill of detail-oriented, yet there is a time and a place for that; however, in order to do the job effectively, I believe creativity plays a big part in it. A person has to understand themselves in order to become a better manager, so that makes it an art. An art in management is true because I had to read a book for school, "Supervision: The Art of Management." See what I mean? This is definitely an art. If it is a science, then there would be no flexibility, but with management there is. Not one person is alike in their thinking, so a Manager has to adapt. I hope this now makes more sense on how management is more of an art than a science.
