The person responsible for accomplishing the organization's goals by managing the efforts of the organization's people is called a?

• A. Manager
• B. Organization
• C. Planning
• D. Leading

Answer: (A)

Being a manager means taking responsibility for achieving the organization's goals by coordinating and directing the work of the people in the organization. A manager oversees planning, organizing, leading, and controlling activities to ensure tasks are completed through others, aligning effort with the organization's objectives. The description points to the official role that holds this responsibility—the manager.

Organization refers to the entity itself, not the person. Planning is a function that sets aims and decides what to do. Leading is part of what managers do—guiding, motivating, and directing people—but the question asks for the job title of the person responsible, which is the manager.
