responsible care and management
The careful and honest way of taking care of and managing something that you are responsible for, like money, land, or the environment.
Vartosenos šablonas:
stewardship of [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse 'stewardship' with 'ownership'. 'Stewardship of something' means you manage and care for it responsibly, but you may not own it. Another common mistake is using it without 'of': say 'stewardship of the environment', not '*stewardship the environment'.
Sinonimai

under the stewardship of [someone]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes leave out the preposition and say '*under her stewardship of the company' incorrectly. Use 'under her stewardship, the company…' or 'her stewardship of the company was successful.' Also, do not use 'stewardship' where simple 'time' or 'period' is meant; it implies active management, not just time passing.
Sinonimai
leadership (Broad term for guiding people or organizations; 'stewardship' stresses careful and responsible management during that leadership.)
|
tenure (Focuses on the length or period of holding a position; 'stewardship' emphasizes how that position is used to manage something.)
|
administration (Often used for a government or official team in charge; 'stewardship' highlights the responsibility and quality of their management.)
Antonimai
vacancy (A time when a post is empty and no one is in charge, the opposite of a period defined by a specific person’s stewardship.)
|
misrule (A period of bad or unjust government, contrasting with the careful, responsible leadership implied by 'stewardship'.)
