    A person who coordinates and overseas the activities of other people


    so that organizational goals can be accomplished.

    levels of Manager
    There are three levels of Manager.

     Top Manager
     Middle Manager
     First line Manager

    Skills Required

    For Top level Managers;


    Top-level managers, or top managers, are also called senior
    management or executives. These individuals are at the top one or
    two levels in an organization. Conceptual skills are required for Top
    Managers. Top-level managers make decisions affecting the entirety of
    the firm. Top managers do not direct the day-to-day activities of the
    firm; rather, they set goals for the organization and direct the company
    to achieve them. Top managers are ultimately responsible for the
    performance of the organization, and often, these managers have very
    visible jobs.

    The primary role of the executive team, or the top-level managers, is


    to look at the organization as a whole and derive broad strategic
    plans. Company policies, substantial financial investments, strategic
    alliances, discussions with the board, stakeholder management, and
    other top-level managerial tasks are often high-risk high return
    decision-making initiatives in nature. Top-level management roles are
    therefore often high stress and high influence roles within the
    organization.

    For Middle level Manager;


    Middle-level managers, or middle managers, are those in the levels
    below top managers. Middle managers' job titles include: General
    Manager, Plant manager, Regional manager, and Divisional manager.

    Middle-level managers are responsible for carrying out the goals set by
    top management. They do so by setting goals for their departments
    and other business units. Middle managers can motivate and assist
    first-line managers to achieve business objectives. Middle managers
    may also communicate upward, by offering suggestions and feedback
    to top managers. Because middle managers are more involved in the
    day-to-day workings of a company, they may provide valuable
    information to top managers to help improve the organization's bottom
    line.

    First line Manager;


    First-level managers are also called first-line managers or supervisors.
    These managers have job titles such as: Office manager, Shift
    supervisor, Department manager, Foreperson, Crew leader, Store
    manager.

    For First line managers, knowledge, expertise, provisioncy is required.


    First-line managers are responsible for the daily management of line
    workers—the employees who actually produce the product or offer the
    service. There are first-line managers in every work unit in the
    organization. Although first-level managers typically do not set goals
    for the organization, they have a very strong influence on the company.
    These are the managers that most employees interact with on a daily
    basis, and if the managers perform poorly, employees may also
    perform poorly, may lack motivation, or may leave the company.

    MANAGER, MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION ARE


    CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER.

    The Four Functions of Managers;


     Planning

     Organizing

     Leading

     Controlling

    Planning;
    The first of the managerial functions is planning. In this step, the
    manager will create a detailed action plan aimed at some
    organizational goal. Planning is an ongoing step, and can be
    highly specialized based on organizational goals, division goals,
    departmental goals, and team goals. It is up to the manager to
    recognize which goals need to be planned within his or her
    individual area.
    For example;
    Let’s suppose Melissa the marketing manager has a goal of
    increasing sales during the month of February. Melissa needs to
    first spend time mapping out the necessary steps. These steps
    might include things like increasing advertisements in a
    particular region, placing some items on sale, increasing the
    amount of required customer-to-sales rep contact, or contacting
    prior customers to see if they are interested in purchasing
    additional products. The steps are then organized into a logical
    pattern so that Melissa and her team can follow them.

    Organizing;
    The second of the managerial functions is organizing. This step
    requires Melissa to determine how she will distribute resources
    and organize her employees according to the plan. Melissa will
    need to identify different roles and ensure that she assigns the
    right amount of employees to carry out her plan. She will also
    need to delegate authority, assign work, and provide direction
    so that her team of sales representatives can work towards
    higher sales numbers without having barriers in their way.

    Leading;
    The third function of management is leading. Melissa spends
    time connecting with her employees on an interpersonal level.
    This goes beyond simply managing tasks; rather, it involves
    communicating, motivating, inspiring, and encouraging
    employees towards a higher level of productivity. Leading is an
    important role in an organization as it helps strengthen the
    operational capability of the organization. It does so by ensuring
    the different parts of the organization are working better.
    Leading is a bridge between the operational needs and the
    human requirements of its employees. You essentially create a
    link between the necessity of turning in a profit, with the need of
    keeping employees motivated and interested. Since directing
    aims to improve productivity, you are strengthening how well
    the organization succeeds.

    Controlling;
    “The process of checking whether or not proper progress is
    being made towards the objectives and goals and acting if
    necessary, to correct any deviation”
    Controlling requires us to examine the objectives in a
    measurable manner. Manager essentially needs to set
    standards, which guarantee that He know exactly what they
    want to achieve and what counts as success or failure. But
    controlling is also a function that due to the set of standards will
    ensure he have the ability to correct behaviors when they
    deviate from the standards. In essence, controlling is about
    quality monitoring. Looking at the processes and ensuring they
    achieve the right things for the organization.

    BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF


    MANAGER;
    BENEFITS
    A huge reward is the satisfaction of managing our own way, especially
    if one can manage a team using a participative model. If HE gets
    employees to perform, He can devote more time to other duties, such
    as planning, budgeting, preparing reports and hiring. A Manager has
    authority to decide how to implement policy changes in your own
    team. Make recommendations so that work is performed in new ways.
    Through improving operational area with team's help, Manager can
    enjoy a more prestigious status and may gain further promotion.
    Manager gets more control over work life and more opportunities for
    advancement. He will definitely make more money in a managerial
    position.

    CHALLENGES

    Effective Communication with Employees;


    Building effective communication with your employees will give you a
    strong foundation in your new role as a manager.
    The way that we speak – and the way that we listen – plays a vital role
    in collaboration and teamwork. Not only that, the quality of
    communication on team impacts levels of trust and vulnerability,
    which are essential to creativity and innovation.

    involve developing soft skills. Listen and pay attention to the needs of
    employees, to help them achieve the collective goals of team.

    pressure to perform. “Becoming a leader is a learning process”

    Remind yourself that you were picked for this position for a reason and
    that you deserve to be there.

    Managing Your Time;


    Balancing your own tasks while overseeing team can be difficult.
    Team should always be a priority, but it’s also important that a

    manager set aside time to dedicate to his individual responsibilities .

    Setting Clear Goals And Expectations;


    One of the main tasks as a manager is to guide and motivate the
    employees. Part of that is making sure that employees have clear
    directions and common goals.
    It’s important to make setting goals a team effort. According to
    employees want to see how their individual work contributes to the
    larger goals of their team and the company.

    Encouraging Productivity
    As a manager, a key to success is to make his team as productive as
    possible.
    This can be a challenge because all of your team members may have
    different needs and work in different ways. Some people like working
    later, some earlier, some people like being given specific instructions;
    some people like to have more autonomy. It’s important create an
    environment that’s good for everyone. Try to find out what works best
    and adjust accordingly.
    Hiring For Your Team;
    Bringing someone new is a big decision. It’s important that manager
    look at possible candidates from an all-encompassing perspective.
    Culture fit is as important as past experience. Look at unique and
    dynamic individuals, and think about what they’ll bring to the team
    beyond their skill set.

    Firing an Employee;
    Letting someone go from team is a tough decision to make. What’s
    important after firing someone is to make sure that team can recover
    from the loss. Prepare as best as you can to compensate for the gap
    that will be created in your team and their workflow.

    Transparency is important in addressing employees about a


    termination. Encourage them to come with any questions or concerns
    they may have.
