Managering

The act of commanding others to do tasks while you yourself never contribute no matter how easy or hard the task is.

People that are managering also tend to waste more time getting other people to do work than just doing it themselves.

While the term usually applies to actual managers of jobs (hence the name), it can apply to anyone outside the workplace.
Example 1

Employee: You called me over here sir?

Manager: I need you to clean up this spill

Employee: But you are already holding a mop and paper towels. You could have done this yourself much quicker than the time it took me to respond to you. Instead of managering why don't you do some work yourself because I don't see why the company needs someone like you.

Example 2

Mom: Go vacuum the floors they have been filthy all day. It's like you don't ever help around the house.

Child: Mom, I just got home from school, why could you not do it?

Mom: Unlike you I am busy almost all day doing chores and working 8 hour shifts.

Child: Mom, you have been on this couch watching Sex and the City since I left for school and you are still watching it.

Mom: ...

Child: Instead of managering could you help out while I'm busy?

Managitis

Managitis is a condition that effects members of an organization in management positions. Managitis can also effect members of the organization when they percieve themselves to be managers or when others unofficially deem them managers.

Symptoms of managitis include: Poor and uninvolved leadership, a complete unwillingness to take out the trash, sweep the floor, lift anything heavy, use any kind of tool or equipment beyond pencils and computers. Managitis sufferers instead issue commands, hold clipboards, and point at things.

Not to be confused with meningitis.
Ever since Robert got that promotion to store manager, all he does is tell other people to do things, hold a clipboard, and walk around staring at people. It's a classic case of managitis.
