What Does A Manager Do? One of the first
lessons a beginning manager must learn is that good managers don't Do
anything. A manager's role is to
manage the people who do actually
do the work. The manager's role is to make the group more effective than they would be without him/her.
That doesn't mean that managers spend all day sitting around with
their feet up on the desk drinking coffee. Most managers I know work
very hard and work longer hours than anyone on their teams. So what do
managers do? Read on.
Build A Team
One of the first things you have to do as a manager is to build
your team. Usually, when you become a manager, your team is already in
place. You may need to add a few people or replace some people. Don't be
in a hurry. Learn about your team and the people on the team before you
shake things up. Don't feel you have to prove you're the manager. Take
the time to think things through before you make major changes.
Motivate Your People
The simplest way to make your team more productive is to motivate
them. Motivating people can be a real challenge for many managers
because it is so different for each person. You will find that what
works to motivate one person won't work for another and will actually be
a demotivator for still another. As a manager, you need to find the
unique motivators for each member of your team.
Run The Business
While you are motivating your team, you have to stay focused on the
business itself. Managers must handle many specific tasks, mostly
related to personnel actions and financial transactions, to keep the
company functioning. You will have to make decisions daily about the
correct way to do things and to keep your team function as a part of the
whole company. It doesn't matter how well your unit performs unless it
is in sync with the rest of the company.
Make Changes And Fix Things
Things go wrong every day. Things change constantly. Managers play a
key role in figuring out what is going wrong and doing what is needed
to fix it.
Manage Upward
In addition to managing your team, your role as a manager requires
that you also manage the organization above your unit. Your job includes
buffering your people from the company power structure. Your boss, and
any bosses above him/her, need to go through you and not directly to
your team.
Manage Sideways
In additon to managing upward, you need to work well with your
peers. Your team will not function well if they have problems with other
departments. You can help them be more effective if you can establish
good working relationships with your peers, the heads of the other
departments your team needs to work with.

3) Motivates and communicates. The manager creates a team out of his people, through decisions on pay, placement, promotion, and through his communications with the team. Drucker also referred to this as the “integrating” function of the manager.
