How to Set Day-to-Day Roles and Responsibilities for New Managers
Managers shape the culture of their teams and workplaces in countless ways.
They play both an administrative and leadership role, meaning often, they have to balance their day to meet their needs and those of their employees.
Additionally, managers act as a bridge from senior management for translating higher-level strategies and goals into operating plans that drive the business.
And they require a diverse set of skills to be successful.
But what exactly does a manager do?
While the CEO and vice president of a company focus more on the strategy and investment of a company, managers are directly involved with the individuals who serve the customers, producing and or selling the products and services.
Managers typically have more responsibilities than regular employees.
That’s why managers must be organized and prioritize their daily tasks to ensure they are being productive and completing their work on time.
As a bridge between strategy and team, the manager is accountable to senior executives for performance and front-line employees for guidance, motivation, and support.
“It is common for managers to feel as if they are pulled between the demands of top leaders and the needs of the individuals performing the work of the firm.” F. John Reh.
In this blog, we are going to break down the typical day-to-day managerial responsibilities and how to be effective at each.
Not every day is the same. Some days, you’ll be pulled into hiring meetings; others, you might be organizing your corporate retreat.
This list is also not exhaustive; some responsibilities may be more relevant to certain companies than others.
