What are the duties of managers? How can they improve their skills and qualities? What is a manager? This sound is quite simple, but it's different. Especially if you have been an owner or manager for some time, the way you and your employees think about the word "MANAGER" can be totally different. The manager works for an organization with many responsibilities. His job is quite tough and comes with high risks when he has to deal with problems. There are four sets of management functions when trying to achieve their objective.1. Set the goal2. Plan how they will achieve the goal3. Take the actions outlined in the plan4. Evaluate what works and what doesn't and continually adjust your path until you reach your goal. Depending on the size of the company, a single, double or triple level of management may be involved. Most company management is basically divided into three levels:1. Lower level management,2. Mid-level management e3. Top level management. Lower-level management includes managers who work closely with non-managerial staff and who work closely with customers. Mid-level management includes managers who work for top managers and who manage first-line managers. Top-level management commonly consists of a board of directors and shareholders. These types of managers are the ones who must take responsibility for the entire organization. There are many different roles of managers. The first role is known as Figurehead, who carries out tasks and involves people and they represent the organisation. Another role is the informational one which consists of monitoring who keeps track of information both inside and outside the organization. Most of them deal with presenting the organization's improvements and problems to the outside and also deal with the information to be provided to the organization. The last roles are those of Decision Makers, i.e. managers who take part in the organisation's decision-making process. Entrepreneurs, who initiate the organization's performance to improve. Disturbance managers, who act on organizational problems. Resource allocators, who take care of human resources and employee allocation. Finally, the negotiators, who deal with discussion and bargaining with external parties for the good of the organization. In the past, what we know about managers' jobs was mostly work-centric. Managers are the ones who make decisions, they must be punctual in the office and their work is favored by their experiences and performances.
