title: Management tips. Managing people, time, paperwork.
abstract: A manager works with people, time, and things to meet the goals of the organization. To meet those goals, the manager must motivate people to perform the jobs the manager has decided need to be done. The manager must manage his or her time as well as the time of the staff. Management in the OR is not limited to the director and the head nurse. It includes all the staff. If the staff is involved and willing to participate, everybody functions better.
