Did you know?
- The word gestión shares a common root with the English word 'gestation', as both stem from the Latin 'gestio' involving the idea of carrying out or performing an action.
- While gestión means 'management', it is also the standard term used in Spanish for 'administrative paperwork' or the 'steps taken' to solve a bureaucratic problem.
- While 'management' in English can sometimes imply 'control', using control de la energía in Spanish can sometimes sound more like a technical mechanism rather than a business strategy.
