Introduction

 

There is such a profession - Manager.

Choosing a profession, each person must, first of all, answer to himself the question: "Why did I choose this particular profession?"

No company can exist without managers - after all, as soon as a company appears, the need to manage it immediately appears. This is what modern managers do. Therefore, we can say that today a manager is one of the main and most demanded professions.

Management science arose on the basis of many years of accumulation of empirical knowledge, formed theories of management. The subject of management science is social relations between people in the field of management, the identification of factors and conditions that directly or indirectly affect the efficiency of organized labor activity. The foundations of science are based on philosophy; the connection between management and political science, sociology and other sciences is obvious. Management science must necessarily be based on the norms of civil and administrative law, the provisions of labor law are of great importance and must be taken into account. As an independent science, with its own subject and method, management was formed at the end of the 19th century.

The English word " management ", used in Russian without translation, comes from the Latin word " manus " - "hand". Originally this word was used in the field of animal management and denoted the art of animal management. Later it was extended to the sphere of human activity and began to be used to refer to the processes of managing people and organizations. The modern understanding of this term, which is given in the Oxford Dictionary, defines management as:

1) type of activity, the process of managing people in various organizations,

2) the field of human knowledge, special art, management skill,

3) a certain category of people carrying out management work, a set (group) of managers of an industry, an enterprise, a department.

So, management is, first of all, management. And management, as defined by Peter Drucker , is a special kind of activity that turns an unorganized crowd into an effective, purposeful and productive group. Therefore, management can be defined as a set of methods, principles, means and forms of management of an organization in order to improve the efficiency of its work. And the manager - as an employee of the company, who has assumed responsibility for the high-quality execution of the production processes assigned to him and for this purpose he manages the employees subordinate to him who are directly involved in these processes.

Each structural unit of the firm is headed by a manager, whose main activity includes the management of internal processes in the unit and their coordination with all external processes. By analogy with the grouping of structural units, some managers are subordinate to other managers, thus forming a hierarchy of managers (managerial hierarchy).

It should also be taken into account that a high level of qualifications and a large amount of responsibility of an employee does not mean that he is a manager. If he independently and single-handedly performs work related to management, then this still does not give reason to consider him a manager. The need for management appears only when the volume of work and its complexity require the involvement of additional employees specializing in specific issues, and there is a need to manage their activities.

The ultimate goal of any manager's activity is to achieve the required result (quality) of all production processes that are carried out in the structural unit headed by him. Managing people - employees of the company is not the goal of his activities, and is only a way and means that allows the manager to achieve the desired results.

According to experts, this profession has a number of features:

* A manager is a leader and he always has subordinates.

* A manager can be an entrepreneur, that is, run his own business, or can be an employee.

* A manager can run a commercial or non-commercial organization.

* Managers lead government, community and religious organizations, and the list goes on.

At the same time, a manager can lead an enterprise and an organization (top managers), and can only lead a part of it (middle, lower-level managers).

The main functions of a manager are:

* Planning - defining the goals of the organization and actions to achieve them;

* Organization - structuring the work of employees, increasing work efficiency;

* Management is the process of communicating decisions from the manager to his employees;

* Coordination - coordination and establishment of relationships to achieve the set goals;

* Motivation - creating conditions that encourage employees to effectively perform work in accordance with their responsibilities;

* Control - ensuring the achievement of the set goals by tracking the work process, the timing of its completion and timely correction of errors.

The management of an individual employee (a junior manager or a specialist) includes the following minimum set of actions and procedures performed by the manager:

* Transfer of rights and resources: subordinate managers are given the right to manage employees and the right to dispose of resources, subordinate specialists - only the right to dispose of resources.

* Analysis of results and the formation of an assessment of the effectiveness of subordinates.

* Preparation and implementation of corrective management actions.

A manager's job includes tasks that need to be completed in order for the organization to achieve its goals. In addition, it is work, as an activity aimed at obtaining a result, that is a criterion for evaluating a manager, the main measure of his professionalism and should be the core around which training is built.

The content of a manager's work can be thought of as a set of tasks and issues that are on the “agenda”. After analyzing the variety of tasks, it is possible to identify key tasks that are specific only to the work of a manager, and do not depend on the level and style of management, the implementation of which allows the pooling of resources into a “living and developing organism”, i.e. transform materials into a product called an organization and achieve this goal. According to P. Drucker, five main tasks common to all managers and characteristic only of their work can be distinguished.

1. Setting goals. This task includes setting goals, defining their characteristics and implies the ability not only to decide what needs to be done to achieve the goal, but also to find and formulate a common goal.

2. Organization of work is the analysis of the necessary actions, decisions and relationships, the classification and division of work, the construction of an organizational structure to coordinate the performance of work.

3. Motivation and communication is a complex task of creating like-minded people out of many people, building relationships with people, their attitudes towards work and group interaction, stimulating and rewarding for good work.

4. Measurement of indicators - is the establishment of indicators and criteria reflecting the performance of individual work and the organization as a whole, analysis of the effectiveness of each employee, assessment and interpretation.

5. Development of their subordinates - consists in the development and professional improvement of employees, assistance in the disclosure of abilities, strengthening their personal qualities and creating conditions for self-development.

These basic tasks are the basic elements of the content of the work of any manager. Each of the tasks requires special qualities and qualifications. The ability to solve one of the tasks does not make a person a manager yet. Knowledge of the main tasks will allow us to evaluate and focus the focus of training programs and develop the ability to solve such problems in practice, i.e. ensure that the manager is ready to work. Each employee can improve his / her performance as a manager by improving the performance of these very tasks, since in the absence of the ability to solve one of the tasks, it is impossible to consider himself a real manager. It is interesting to note that these five tasks do not correspond well with the 20-30 subjects usually presented in management training programs. Thus, in order to work effectively as a manager, it is necessary to focus on the implementation of the main tasks, and when choosing or drawing up training programs, pay attention to the possibility of developing knowledge and skills that contribute to solving these problems.

I understand that in order to master a new profession, it is necessary not only to make a lot of effort and have a great desire, but also to have certain inner qualities necessary to achieve success in this profession. For me, mastering a new profession is, first of all, the desire to gain new knowledge, to express oneself in something new, not to stop in intellectual development. And, as you know, learning to control people makes it possible to improve control over oneself, which many people really lack. I think that by choosing the profession of a manager, I will not only strengthen the existing character traits, but will also develop new ones necessary for this profession, as well as gain knowledge, skills and new opportunities.

In this work, I will try to critically assess my personal and business qualities, analyze achievements and failures, and set goals in terms of my personal life and career. I think that after completing this work, it will be easier for me to figure out what I am missing in order to achieve the intended goals and how to achieve them.
