The Role of the Manager

The Role of the Manager

In today's society, the role of a manager is imperative to the success of an overall business, corporation and company. The manager's changing role in a team environment has transformed from a diabolical watchdog into a supportive parent whose aim is to increase productivity. Studies have shown that the fastest way to lose a business is stagnation and the old-fashioned managerial approach that has proven to be less-effective in the new generations. At this rate of time, managers are less focused on meeting the status quo and are deprived from complete control, but in turn empowers a team environment that values leadership, advocacy, facilitation, coordination, the removal of barriers, and the development of staff. This is the mind set a leader must uphold in contrast to the older generations. In comparison to the baby boomers era, today's workers strive in an environment they want to be in; a workplace that makes them feel happy and wanted. It's not about doing the minimum amount of work and then getting your pay cheque anymore, these workers carry different values from their parents whose main focus isn't just money. If a workplace doesn't meet a person's life, they will find another job more in sync with it. This all comes down to the manager, the employer who is the face that runs the place and is charge of the work environment. The main task is always to increase the business, but to do this it starts at the foundation of any company; the workers and the team. The manager is the heart of the company and the workers are what keeps everything interconnected.
