How to use it
La gestión (noun, feminine) means 'management' or 'handling' — of a business, resource, project or bureaucratic process. Core B2 collocations: la gestión de recursos, la gestión del tiempo, hacer una gestión (to carry out an administrative errand/procedure). The related verb is gestionar (to manage, to handle).
Common mistake
Hacer una gestión (to carry out an administrative errand/procedure) uses gestión in a different, more concrete sense than the abstract la gestión de recursos (resource management) — both are common but not interchangeable in translation.
