WHAT IS A MANAGER?

A number of different terms are often used instead of the term “manager”: “director”, “administrator” and “president”. The term “manager” is frequently used in profit making organizations, while the others are used more widely in government, universities and hospitals.

So, who do we call a “manager”? In its broad meaning the term “manager” applies to the people who are responsible for making and carrying out decisions in a certain system. A personnel manager directly supervises people in an organization. Financial manager is a person who is responsible for finance. Sales manager is responsible for selling goods.

Almost everything a manager does involves decision-making. When a problem exists, a manager has to make a decision to solve it, and there is always some uncertainty and risk in decision-making.

Managing is a responsible and hard job. He/she has to do a lot within a relatively short period of time. In all types of organizations managerial efficiency depends on the relationship between the manager and the staff and his/her hard work.

Managers are responsible for leading their subordinates. To do this successfully, they must use their authority. Managers often delegate authority. It means that they let their subordinates use their initiative and make decisions themselves.
