Managerial job
there are many aspects to the job of a manager and there is no complete
agreement as to what exactly constitutes the job of a manager.
some focus on the entrepreneurial aspects of managing and their main
concern is innovation, risk taking and similar activities.
others emphasize decision making, especially the kind of decisions that
cannot be easily programmed.
an additional view of the managerial job draws attention to leadership with
an emphasis on particular traits and managerial styles.
closely related to this approach is the discussion about power and influence,
that is, the leader's control of the environment and subordinates,
others focus their attention on the behaviour of leaders by examining the
content of the manager's job.
but despite different approaches to the nature of managerial tasks, the key
tasks of managers can be organised into the five functions, of planning, organising.
staffing, leading and controlling which constitute the framework of managerial
activities. managers are different; they have different needs, desires, and motives.
managing offers rewards but also involves stress.
an individual aspiring to a managerial position should evaluate both the
advantages and the disadvantages of managing before pursuing this career.
how many managers do we need?
factors affecting the number and kinds of managers required.
the number of managers needed in an enterprise depends not only upon its
size but also upon the complexity of the organisation structure, the plans for
expansion and the rate of turnover of managerial personnel.
