Manager Responsibility

Manager

The manager is responsible for results and not for his activities. Results can be measured by achieving Sales Targets, Production Targets, Zero Machine breakdown time, Submitting reports of the Management Information System (MIS) in time.

The result is a function of decision, activity, and luck.

The decision is a function of risk, experience or bad decision taken, learning, constraints, education.
Constraints are functions of areas of autonomy. Therefore, good managers shall exploit the area of autonomy.

There are four types of persons in every organization, as informed by Sharu Rangnekar in his book "In the wonderland of Indian Managers."

1.0 Lazy or Susat
2.0 Too Busy or Vyasth. This can also be called bogus Band people
3.0 Cursing Always or Trast. This can also be called child widow role people.
4.0 Working and not worrying or Mast. In Deutsch (German) Language we can call"Arbeiten macht es spass". Work is worship.

Management is a very unfair game. One has to deliver results with 100 odds. The mission or target should be apparent. Thick skin is always useful for result-oriented management.
