How to cope with the managerial position

The English-Russian dictionary says that the manager - it is the owner, management and professional organization of economic processes. Born this profession in America a few years ago has become popular in our country. Although, if you remember, it is by no means new to us. The factories were managers, who perform the same duties as the modern managers.

What are the responsibilities of managing the manager?

 First, create a financially profitable projects and to implement them in life.

 Secondly, to make decisions and take responsibility for them.

 Third, organize the work of many people and to ensure their interaction with each other.

Moreover, in order to organize the production process at a high level, the manager should not only be skilled in the head, but also to understand the law, psychology, to control the situation on the market, but also to study, study and study again and teach subordinates the new working methods and technologies.

Where to begin?

Analyze your inclinations, abilities, skills, and, on this basis, determine: what would you like to do to manage personnel, production planning or finances? To identify their abilities, it is best to turn to a psychologist, who is at every staffing agency. After talking with you, he will determine which path is to be preferred. And then it will be the most "smallness" - to learn that very manager.

Today many institutions have management departments where specialists are trained for specific industries. After all, the manager should not only be able to command, but also to understand the technical side of the problem. In fairness it should be noted that in Ukraine there are universities that produce MBAs (administreyshn business manager), a kind of versatile, sought in all areas of activity.

thorny path

To minimize the problem of employment, already in the process of learning, try to establish itself with the best hand, and to have as many useful contacts: it is possible that a neighbor's party could be your future employer. In addition, it is no secret that in reputable firms in the post of the manager trying to take people for recommendations. But, sitting "on protection", remember: even the highest patrons will not save you from dismissal, if you find yourself a bad person.

However, if you do not have influential friends, do not despair. Some companies that only organized or open branches, specifically gaining 'green' staff, to sculpt out of it experts "in his own image and likeness."

In general, to head with no work experience and qualify for something funny. Few employers want to take risks. Look in the newspaper with vacancies anywhere near the words "required manager" should note "experience yet ..." So do not be afraid to start a career with the lowest levels - from the post of administrator or secretary. And how will successfully move up the career ladder, it depends only on you. While working, you can periodically send your CV to a recruitment agency. But do not expect instant success. Good job sometimes waiting for years.

How much is a pound Down and Out?

Well, finally, it has arrived, your first day of work. The newly made manager emphatically opens the door to the office - immediately fall silent conversations and watching him expectantly dozens of eyes. Cool completely disappears, but there are unpleasant foreboding: a small group - small problems, a large team - great. A lost-and that's just impossible. Any manager will have to deal with employees, among which there are also some "local authorities", and experts whose experience (and age) is twice the length of employment head. In order to correctly build relationships with subordinates, is to learn a few simple truths.

From the beginning, try to explore the interests of colleagues, to discover their abilities. This will help you to properly distributed among them the amount of work and, therefore, create a friendly atmosphere in the team.

Giving orders, have a concrete idea what the result you want to obtain. Therefore, clearly setting out their demands, explaining not only the purpose of this work, but the way to achieve it if necessary.

But helping subordinates to acquire new skills, in any case, do not transfer their work on their shoulders. Your efforts no one will appreciate, but for sure there will be willing to abuse the kindness of a stranger.

Do not forget about the main principle of the head - observe justice. Do not be afraid to praise the employee when he deserves it, and make a point (in the correct form!), If he took up his duties negligently.

The most terrible temptation for a manager - power for power

When it becomes the main principle of "divide and rule", the manager is impaired as a leader. Remember your disapproving words and offensive comments will sooner or later lead to fermentation in the team. And if subordinates suddenly drop operation, blame only on themselves.

"Hot" troika

Today, the labor market are very popular three professions - sales manager, office manager and HR manager.

Perhaps the most valuable of them - the sales manager (not to be confused with a sales specialist, who is none other than the usual vendor!). The percentage of women involved in such activities is large enough. This is especially true of managers on the sale of food, cosmetics. (Companies that sell more "serious" item, prefer men.) Admission requirements in the different companies vary: age, usually 35-40 years, education - any, even though Western firms prefer candidates with higher. But this required experience selling similar products or services. It often happens that competing firms luring intelligent manager to itself, and behind him pass and its clients. And because the employer promises to pay such a specialist considerable.

Highly regarded among women occupation office manager. Requirements for office manager, as opposed to the Secretary to be much higher (required higher education, knowledge of at least one foreign language, business etiquette, computer programs), and the work - a promising and interesting. The powers of the office manager in addition to HR administration and organizational work includes the distribution of employee time. Although, to be honest, for the office manager can be fixed and the duty of coffee for the boss.

Another relevant profession - Manager of Human Resources. His responsibilities include selecting and certify employees to come up with different ways of motivation (bonuses, awards) and be able to resolve conflicts within the team. It is understood that the candidate for this position must have a higher education, preferably a legal or psychological (and better - and then, and more), and the command of foreign languages. I must say that the employer pays a similar set of knowledge and skills very highly. A wish to see on the site of the manager of people over 30. Because in addition to the skills of such specialist needs some experience: no education is not to learn to understand people and understand the different situations.
