I have been given a task of identifying the Managers in my company. According to me, a few things that I mentioned apart from the competencies are the span of control, business impact, people development, and business development as the main factors to define the Manager. Would seek your suggestions?

Definition: A Manager is the person responsible for planning and directing the work of a group of individuals, monitoring their work, and taking corrective action when necessary. For many people, this is their first step into a management career.

Managers may direct workers directly or they may direct several supervisors who direct the workers. The manager must be familiar with the work of all the groups he/she supervises, but does not need to be the best in any or all of the areas. It is more important for the manager to know how to manage the workers than to know how to do their work well.

A manager may have the power to hire or fire employees or to promote them. In larger companies, a manager may only recommend such action to the next level of management. The manager has the authority to change the work assignments of team members.

A manager's title reflects what he/she is responsible for. An Accounting Manager supervises the Accounting function. An Operations Manager is responsible for the operations of the company. The Manager of Design Engineering supervises engineers and support staff engaged in the design of a product or service. A Night Manager is responsible for the activities that take place at night. There are many management functions in business and, therefore, many manager titles. Regardless of title, the manager is responsible for planning, directing, monitoring, and controlling the people and their work.

I found out origin of word manage from the net.
The verb manage comes from the Italian maneggiare (to handle — especially tools), which in turn derives from the Latin manus (hand). The French word mesnagement (later ménagement) influenced the development in meaning of the English word management in the 17th and 18th centuries

A manager is an individual who is entrusted by an organization to plan, organize, direct, and control work in line with the organizational strategy towards goal attainment. Depending on the functional area, a person's role as a manager may be determined based on the span of control. For example, in the Finance Department, you can have a Finance Director, Finance Manager, Accountant, Finance Supervisor, and Clerical staff. Conversely, in an IT or Financial Institution, managers are appointed based on the portfolio or project size/financial value.

A manager has to manage things without giving excuses. He has to foresee the obstacles/bottlenecks and make alternate plans (Plan A, Plan B, etc.). He has to inform his superiors about the possibility of the failure of an objective before the failure occurs.
