The Job of a Manager

Managers don't make products and they don't deliver services.

Steve Jobs didn't make the iPhone and the manager of a quick-service restaurant doesn't serve the food.

The job of a manager is to convert resources into results. Within his or her realm of influence are certain human, capital, and occasionally natural resouces. Ideally, the task is to combine those resources and guide them toward the achievement of remarkable results.

In the months to come my objective is to provide you with an on-going set of user-friendly insights, strategies, practical tips, and examples that you can use to generate a great management performance. I define a great management performance as achieving signficant and sustainable results in your organization's highest priority desired outcomes.

The job of a manager is absolutely necessary for any organization to succeed in today's complicated and constantly shifting scenarios. It is also necessary for the success of a country or society. Never underestimate the importance of being a manager. It is THE critical role in the success of any on-going enterprise.
