No, wrong. It's all a matter of linguistics; whether you choose the greek
or latin root of the word. One means the male gender, and one means "to
handle", as in manual or manager. For the sake of the preservation of the
English language, please do not artificially gender neutralise terms like
this.

Next you will be saying mismanagement should be youthpersonagepersont.
