Chapter 1: Managing and the Manager’s Job
Being a Manager
It is difficult to define exactly what is meant by “management”. However, many agree that managers are responsible for “getting things done” – usually through other people.
The term “manager” may refer to a number of different people within a business. Some job titles include the word “manager”, such as “personnel manager” or “managing director”. Other job holders may also be managers, even though their titles do not say it. The vice-chancellors of a university, the president of a students’ union or a chief librarian are all managers. They have a responsibility to use the resources of their organization effectively and economically to achieve its objectives.
The most common definition of management is the following:
“Management is the process of achieving organizational goals through engaging in the four major functions of planning, organizing, leading and controlling.”
In carrying out these management functions a manager will be continually making decisions. Decision-making is a key management responsibility. Before making a decision the manager will carefully assess the options, considering the advantages and disadvantages of each one.
Giving a definition of management, Charles Handy made an analogy between managing and staying “healthy”. If there are health problems in business, the manager needs to identify the symptoms. These could include low productivity, high labour turnover or industrial relations problems. Once the symptoms have been identified, the manager needs to find the cause of trouble and develop a strategy for “better health”.
