I don’t really see managing as being as much of a science. Yes, there are certain elements that can make managers better at their job, and certain techniques they can employ to ensure they are better at their jobs. Each worker under managers will work differently and respond differently to different managing styles, as well as different managers being suited better or worse to different managing styles. With the vast variety in types of successful managing styles that work in the real world, to compare it to a hard science does not make much sense.
