Management
Organizational leadership studies
Management is the act of directing, controlling, or handling something: The project failed due to poor management.
It often refers to the people who run an organization, distinct from workers or labor: Management rejected the union's proposal.
To manage can mean to cope or get by: How will you manage without a car?
The word covers both the skill of overseeing and the group that oversees.
