Why might management want to sell?

Just curious about why a company’s management might consider being acquired. Also, in sell-side M&A, do bankers go out and pitch to potential clients, or do clients approach the bank? I couldn’t find answers on the internet, so hopefully these questions aren’t too stupid.
