Read and retell the text: management and managers
Management is the achievement of organizational objectives through people and other resources. The manager’s job is to combine human and technical resources in the best way possible to achieve these objectives.
There are three levels of management in most organizations. Top management, the highest level of the management pyramid includes the president, executive vice president and other key company executives. These people devote their time to developing long-range plans for the company. They make broad decisions such as whether to manufacture new products, to purchase other companies or to begin international operations. Middle management, the second level of the management pyramid, includes plant managers and division heads. Middle managers are responsible for developing detailed plans and procedures to implement the general plans of top managers. They may determine the number to salespeople for a particular territory, operate a branch of a department store chain, select equipment for a new facility, or develop techniques for evaluating employee performance. Supervisory management, or first-line management, includes supervisors, foremen, department heads, section leaders who are directly responsible for details of assigning workers to specific jobs and evaluating daily – even hourly – performance. The first level managers are responsible for putting into action the plans developed by middle management.
Every manager must possess three basic managerial skills: technical skills, human relation skills, and conceptual skills.
Technical skills refer to the manager’s ability to understand and use techniques, knowledge, and tools of a specific discipline or department.
Human relations skills are “people” skills. They involve the manager’s ability to work effectively with and through people. The ability to create a work environment in which organizational members will contribute their best efforts to achieve objectives is a crucial managerial skill at every level.
Conceptual skills refer to the ability of the manager to see the organization as a unified whole. These skills involve a manager’s ability to “see the big picture” by acquiring, analyzing, and interpreting information.
Managers at every level in the organization perform four basic functions – planning, organizing, directing and controlling – and they must be skillful in performing them if they are to accomplish their goals.
