"Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits"

This quote by Casey Stengel is a tip that a supervisor's task is to develop an environment where their group can succeed. It is not the manager's task to hit the home runs, however rather to create the conditions for their group to do so. A manager's task is to supply guidance, assistance, and resources to their team so that they can reach their objectives. A manager must be able to acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of their team and utilize those to create a successful strategy. A manager needs to also be able to inspire their group and supply them with the essential tools to be successful. Ultimately, a manager's job is to develop an environment where their group can strike house runs, and they should be rewarded for their efforts.
