...Perry Barton Principle of Management MGMT 1100 By: Hillary D. Wooden Date: October 8, 2012 In the retail industry there are many different managers with different personalities. When you think of managers in the retail industry, you picture an older adult that has worked with the company for 20-30 years. Companies now have seen that having older adults is more of a liability than an asset. Having older adults as managers can have some pros but sometimes there are cons. After talking to different managers within my company, I have came to the conclusion that many companies are looking into hiring younger adults to fill their manager positions and younger workers to fill associates positions. After doing my research and talking to different managers within my company I have come up with different pros and cons of being a young adult manager in the retail industry. Pros of being a young adult manager in the retail industry are having good planning, leading, human, and technical skills. Cons of being a young adult manager in the retail industry are being less organized, less controlling, non-conceptual, and sometimes lacking motivation to manage skills. In the following paper I will be discussing in more detail the reasons for these pros and cons. One of the first pros of being a young adult manager in the retail industry is having good planning skills. Planning is determining organizational...

...objective of this Management Aptitude Questionnaire was to identify your present level of management skills and to see what level of management would best suit your personality. You will learn the difference in the three categories of management skills and to identify the position that potential managers would likely be fit for. There are three levels of managers which are Top Managers, Middle Managers, and First-Line managers. All managers must have three necessary skills in order to be effective and efficient in and organization which are Conceptual skills, Human skills, and Technical skills. The top-level managers require more conceptual skills and less technical skills. The lower-level managers require more technical skills and less conceptual skills, and all managers require a high level of human skills in an organization because they all have to interact with people. “Many managers get promoted to their first management jobs by having excellent technical skills. However, technical skills become less important than human and conceptual skills as managers move up the hierarchy” (Daft, 2012, p.11). Human skill should be the most important in an organization to avoid a high employee turnover due to poor communication, coordination and motivation techniques.

...Jesseca Hughes Chapter 1 1. Management is directing other people to work as a team to accomplish one desired goal. It’s hard to grow and maintain a business without management. A manager’s job isn’t to do the work that has to be done, it’s to help their employees stay on task and efficiently accomplish their goal for the company. 2. To be a successful manager, there are five functions you need to perform. Planning is the first important function. Managers need to be able to plan what their goals are and how to fulfill that task as efficiently as possible. Being organized is another important function, deciding who will do what and when it needs to be done is essential in completing their desired goal. Another function managers need is leadership, being able to motivate and inspire others to work hard is very important to help achieve their tasks. Controlling is the last function of management, managers need to set certain standards for their employees. They compare how that employee’s performance is and if their measurement doesn’t meet the managers’ standards, they have to make changes to accomplish the goal efficiently. 3. A company needs different kinds of managers, each having different responsibilities and doing different jobs. Top managers such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Chief Operating Officers (COOs), Chief Financial Officers (CFOs), and Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are responsible for monitoring their business environments and...

...have contributed to the organisation first. Most of the employees who complain are habitual poor performers who complain all the time in order to hide their poor performance record. This is made worse by an incompetent management team that has no clue on how to lead people. The majority of managers have appalling people management skills that affect the morale of staff. They are where they are not because they know better than those they lead but because of their connections. Improper promotion systems have lead to the elevation of incompetent managers to positions of authority. The majority of these managers think like “employees”. They are in the workers committees by proxy. They direct workers committee proceedings through their people in these associations. It has been an interesting observation that the internet contains very little information on how employees can individually improve their work performance but contains thousands of articles on how MANAGEMENT can enhance employee productivity, how managers can motivate employees, how management can improve the workplace to enhance productivity, job design methods etcetera. Most information is targeted at management. What does this say about employee productivity? Are we saying the onus is on management to improve productivity? Are we saying the employee has to be pushed and cajoled into...
