Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

The best managers are committed and dedicated individuals; highly trained and educated, with personal qualities such as ambition, selfmotivation, creativity and imagination, a desire for development of the self and the organisation they belong to. All management practices are based on the same set of principles; what distinguishes a successful manager from a less successful one is the ability to put these principles into practice.
