Document Summary
1. 1: what does it mean to be a manager. Managers persons who directly supervise, support, and help activate work efforts to achieve the performance goals of individuals, teams, or even an organization as a whole. Organizations have different levels and types of managers. First-line manager someone who is formally in charge of a small work group composed of non-managerial workers. Typical job titles include department head, team leader, and unit manager: ex: leader of an auditing team or head of an academic department at a university. Most people enter the workforce as a technical specialist (i. e. auditor or market researcher) but may advance to positions of managerial responsibility and serve as building blocks for organizational performance. Middle managers persons in charge of relatively large departments or divisions consisting of several smaller work units or team: ex: deans at universities, regional sales manager or division managers. Must be able to work well with people from all parts of the organization.
