Managing can be defined as the act of having control or authority over something in relation to action (Drucker 2012). Leading can be defined as the act of guiding or having an impact on leadership qualities that can make a person different from the contemporaries in respect of work (Yukl 2013). Stewardship is defined as the act of supervising or taking care of something in relation to organization or property. The three concepts are of pivotal importance in the context of the study (Hernandez 2012).

The study of the main assumptions of the subject is related to the fact that by learning and implementing this subject, one can get hold of the key concepts of management along with the act of possessing the qualities of leadership and stewardship.

By reading the subject, I expected to get a detailed overview of the type of leadership and management that can help me in my further professional life and also the act of supervising the executives who have been assigned under me in the professional fields. Every subject teaches something worthwhile to the students reading it, and likewise, this one has also helped me learn the basic factors related to management that can help me in proceeding well with my career. 

 The areas of managing, leading and stewardship that deals with the key importance are the ones that have helped me in dealing with the different areas of my professional life and help me in managing things both in terms of professional and personal experiences. The key aspects of managing, leading and stewardship include the factors of managing the whole process and also making sure that the student finds ample scope for implementing the knowledge in the future works assigned to them. Without the knowledge of the areas included, the student will fail miserably in the practical life experiences of the professional field including the act of managing and leading the whole process.

I, after enrolling in the course had a lot of expectations from the subject as the scope of the subject was extremely wide which encompassed a number of factors into the whole process. The study had helped me in dealing with stressful and delicate matters of the professional life and also come across as an able leader who could manage and supervise the tasks assigned to me with ease and comfort. The whole process seemed very achievable after a thorough analysis of the subject and working on the matters related to it in the professional field. The topic of managing was of prime importance, as it is extremely needed both in the professional and personal life of the student reading it. The act of leading is of prime importance in the modern times as leadership qualities not only give the power to authorize things and situations but also make sure that the things are done according to a plan by the subordinates. The act of stewardship is needed both by the executives and the managers as supervising work and maintaining the quality of the work is needed at an extreme level in today’s world where quality work is demanded over the quantity.
