The aim of this article is to present the essence and characteristics of personnel management and to emphasize the role and importance in the workplace of people who direct the work of employees. Such people, according to the author, should be referred to as “managers”. The article includes a summary in which the author pays particular attention to the issue of managers’ communication with employees in the organisation of the supervisor-subordinate system.
