ABOUT MANAGERS IN GENERAL
A wise person said: A 'bad' manager can take good staff and destroy it, causing it's employees to flee and the remainder to lose all motivation
The action of delegating work for the progress and benefit of organisation actually describes the need for 'manager' in an organization.
Till the time the business is small and controllable, a single manager may handle the work of any organization independently. However, when the business of an organization is successful and it scales up to a large extent, then it is inevitable to have many managers to handle respective tasks in various departments. Thus the work through managers is expected to be completed effectively, authentically and efficiently.
The larger or big size organisations employ mainly three types of managers:
1) The "First line Manager." 2) The " Mid level Manager." 3) The level Managers.
Although the functional part of all the above said managers is different, yet they are related and have a co-related function.
The first line managers are mainly responsible to supervise and delegate responsibilities to their employees as per their capabilities into his/her department, and maintain the reporting structure in accordance.
The 'mid-level managers' are responsible to supervise the 'First line managers and help the first level managers to achieve for the goals that have been setup. Sometimes, the mid-level managers also suggest ideologically which helps the company to progress.
The "Top level Managers" are responsible for the performance of all the departments, and hence have a multi-departmental responsibility. In fact in many large or big size organizations the position of a "COO"(Chief Operating Officer) is borne to such a top level manager, who is actually being shaped or groomed to be the next CEO of the company, as the current CEO would be leaving or retiring from his/her position.
Though, further there are many categories of managers for example: The problem solving manager, the Pro-active manager, the passive manager etc. the organization progresses on the values in the prevailing trends.
Most important what managers need to understand is political dynamics which will have the potential to shape their environments. Political conflict is at the heart of how organizations function. Political conflict is legitimate disagreements about what is best for the organization. All managerial decisions involve trade-offs: the need to balance complex and ambiguous issues that generate political conflict.
The concept of promotions in our country within an organization has adopted the global trend, but what the managers need to realize is that, though after promoting the first line manager as the mid level manager or the mid level manager as the top level manager, yet the mind set is as of the Supervisor or the First level manager. Thus grooming and training steps need to be rigorously involved for all the managers. Very few managers realize to change as per their position.
