'pro-management' originates from the prefix 'pro-' meaning 'in favor of' and the word 'management', which comes from the Italian 'maneggiare', meaning 'to handle'.

'Management' evolved from the Italian 'maneggiare' to the French 'ménagement', and eventually became the modern English word 'management'.

Initially, 'management' referred to the act of handling or controlling, but over time it evolved to include the broader concept of organizational leadership.
