Managers

Our society is made up of all kinds of organizations, such as companies, government departments, unions, hospitals, schools, libraries, and the like. They are essential to our existence, helping to create our standards of living and our quality of life. In all this organizations there are people carrying out the work of manager. They have a responsibility to use the resources of their organization effectively and economically to achieve its objectives.

In modern scientific literature is given many definitions and meanings of the term «manager». In my point of view, in the narrow sense of «manager» means the office, profession. But if you look at this term, on the other hand, we can say that the manager is a person who connects the staff in the organization and defines the goals and objectives that must be implemented in the organization, it also monitors this activity, motivates employees to performance of their duties.In most companies the activities of manager depend on the level at which he is working. Top manager, such as chairmen and directors, will be more involved in long range planning, policymaking, and the relations of the company with the outside world. They will be making decisions on the future of the company, the sort of product lines it should develop, how it should face up to the competition, whether it should diversify. On the other hand middle management is generally making the day-to-day decisions, which help an organization to run efficiently and smoothly. They must respond to the pressures of the job, which may mean dealing with an unhappy customer, meeting an urgent order, chasing up suppliers or sorting up a technical problem. They spend a great deal of time communication, coordinating and making decisions affecting the daily operations of their organization.

At the present stage of development of both society and science of «management» in general, no specific prohibition limiting the criteria that determine the manager. Manager can be both a man and a woman. The main thing is that they have such qualities as durability and adaptability, sociability and politeness, subordination and anti-conflict, accountability and fairness and so forth. It is also the manager to see me as a man dressed in a classical form, able to fall correctly, to show to establish itself as a valuable and irreplaceable employee, professional in their field, able to please the other person, bring him to her. Each manager has different approaches and management practices that will certainly and naturally depend on the experience that is accumulated over the years of practice. That experience is the principal assistant of any manager. On the basis of a manager solves all problems facing them. Therefore, the manager is, of course, the right hand the head, which always helps him in the management of organizations and people working in it.

Every manager must have a great number of skills and basic knowledge in such items like: leadership, communication and motivation, staffing and planning.

Leadership is needed at all levels in an organization. It is difficult to define leadership satisfactorily. Leader has to create ‘a sense of excitement’ in the organization and convince staff that he knows where the business is going. In addition, he must be a focus for their aspirations.However, there are some qualities which are considered important for success as a leader: sociability, self-confidence, dominance, participation in social exchange, desire to excel etc. But, it was pointed out that many people with these skills do not become leaders. In carrying out management functions, such as planning, organizing, motivating and controlling a manager will be continually making decisions.

Decision-making is a key management responsibility. Some decisions are of the routine kind. They are decisions, which are made fairly quickly, and are based on judgment. Other decisions are often intuitive ones. They are not really rational. The manager may have a hunch or a gut feeling that a certain course of action is the right one. He will follow that hunch and act accordingly.

Many decisions are more difficult to make since they involve, problem solving. Very often they are strategic decisions involving major courses of action that will affect the future direction of the enterprise. In practice, decisions are usually made in circumstances that are not ideal. They must be made quickly, with insufficient info. It is probably rare that a manager can make an entirely rational decision.

I think that it's hard work not in terms of physical effort, but in terms of moral characteristics, abilities, and consciousness as the highest degree of expression of the psyche of living beings, every human psyche. After all, not everyone is able to assume responsibility for the existence, the vital activity of the organization as whole, and individual employees. Management is also a specific type of activity that requires a high level of professionalism and creativity. It is for this reason that not all people are educated manager, working directly in this area; only a few successfully implemented in this field myself.

It is a lot to say on this subject, but we have not talked, we always come to one conclusion that the manager is a person with a number of valuable essential qualities that help him in carrying out his professional duties.

Looking at the above-said it is safe to say that the manager is an indispensable cog in the mechanism of the organization for which he was a fruitful and quality operation. That's the way I see the manager of the twenty first century.
