4. What are managers responsible
for?
It sounds simple, but all too often
people can’t give a comprehensive
answer.
Yes, managers are responsible for
“getting stuff done,” but let’s break it
down. Managers are responsible for
ensuring the following are true:
5. 1. Hiring and staffing.
2. Training new employees.
3. Coaching and developing existing employees.
4. Dealing with performance problems and
terminations.
5. Supporting problem resolution and decision-
making.
6. Conducting timely performance evaluations.
7. Translating corporate goals into functional and
individual goals.
8. Monitoring performance and initiating action to
strengthen results.
9. Monitoring and controlling expenses and budgets.
10.Tracking and reporting scorecard results to senior
management.
11.Planning and goal-setting for future periods.
7. Motivate people: Why are the employees there? What
keeps them with your organization and stops them
from going somewhere else? What makes the good
days good? What makes them stick with the
organization after a bad day or a bad week? Don't
assume it's money - most people are more complex
than that.
8. Tell your employees how much you appreciate
them from time to time: Just go out and say it.
Ask them out for a cup of coffee and tell them
what you appreciate about them: They're a hard
worker
9. Keep the door open: Always remind people that if they
have any questions or concerns, you're ready and
willing to listen. Maintaining an open channel of
communication will make you aware of problems
quickly, so that you can fix them as soon as possible.
10. Take an interest in your employees: Don't
make every interaction with your workers
strictly business. Ask after their well-being,
chat with them about yourself, and
establish a personal connection.
11. Listen: Listen to what your employees and
coworkers have to say. You don't always need to
be the driver of meetings, keeping others out by
dominating the podium. Always make a sincere
effort to listen.
12. Clarify what you're hearing: A good manager not only
strives to make herself clearer, but also strives to
understand what those around her are saying. You can
do this by repeating what the other person has said as
a part of your conversation. Use this technique when
you're not exactly sure what the other person is saying.
20. Management Functions
1.Planning
The planning function of management controls all the
planning that allows the organization to run smoothly.
2. Organizing
without this structure, the day-to-day operation of the
business becomes difficult and unsuccessful.
3. Staffing
The main purpose of staffing is to hire the right people for
the right jobs to achieve the objectives of the
organization.
21. Non management Functions
Those in management are
usually responsible for
supervising other employees.
Supervisory duties including
hiring and firing, performing
employee evaluations, and
monitoring employee work
performance. Employees in non-
managerial positions are typically
not supervisors, but they may still
carry supervisory duties.
22. Identifying the Roles Managers
Play
As a manager, you probably fulfill many
different roles every day, so what they
are?
