Administrative Manager
Successful managers
are very self-disciplined, intelligent, responsible and presentable
people. You would need to be positive, enthusiastic, have good
leadership skills, get on well with people, be firm but just and have
the ability and perseverance to try and help the company achieve their
goals. If you were able to motivate people and make them feel that
they are an important cog in the business wheel, you would be a good
example to them. Too many people in top positions do not trouble to
become acquainted with their staff or understand their problems.
No-one would expect you to solve all the problems but if the employees
knew that management was trying their best to make life for everyone
in the company as profitable, productive and enjoyable as possible,
they would be much more likely to concentrate on doing their best.
Every worker in a business is given a specific task or tasks to do by
the manager who does the planning, co-ordinating and organising of
activities to reach the required goals and you would be the one to
give orders and exercise control over the entire process.
The authority in a large organisation consists of three levels.
Top Management (board of directors, chairman and managing director or
stockholders in a closed corporation)
Functional Managers (administrative, production, financial, marketing
and purchase managers)
Operations Managers (advertising, credit and cost calculation
managers). Each of these managers fulfil a task for which he or she
has been trained.
The General Manager handles personnel functions, marketing, production
and administration. They are not a specialists in a specific field but
can work in most fields or subsections of the company.
The Marketing Manager organises, plans, controls, co-ordinates and
gives orders relating to all the marketing activities.
The Production Manager is responsible for the budgeting, promotion and
selling of a product.
The Purchasing Manager does purchasing for the organisation and
negotiates with suppliers about the prices of items which have to be
bought.
The Personnel Manager works with matters relating to personnel -
interviews for employment, leave, salaries and so on.
