When we use the word manager nowadays, one thinks of the perks and the extra money that goes with the title. But the word itself....Manager comes from the word MANAGE which is intended to mean the supervision and caring of other people, places, and things.
This is a tremendous ........responsibility to both your employer, your fellow workers and the consumer public. What a manager does or does not do AND how they do it will determine just how well things will or will not end up.
A manager is and agrees to be.... a cheerleader, coach, nurturer, counselor, guide, supporter, teacher, and have a giant ear and a extra large heart. They are responsible for their peers and their well being, but there is more...
The owner of a company.... relies on that manager to be their eyes and ears and to carry out and enforce their policies and procedures. A Good manager is well respected and treated because owners and department heads know what value they bring and what a difference they make.
The public has a right...... to expect a certain level of treatment with courtesy every time they visit the work place. They also know that they will be guaranteed satisfaction if they have to involve a manager. So, the manager is a necessary player and accounts to the people above them, the people they work with and to the people they serve.
Its hard work...., long hours and thankless scenarios that enter into a managers life. But, a good one is worth the perks and the extras if they deliver the goods.
So......you want to be a manager? Please do...... only if you have what it takes!
