WHAT KIND OF A MANAGER ARE YOU?
A manager is a person who is seen to have the power, plans and leadership qualities in making sure that the management of a company,organization or institution runs smoothly in longer term.But can anyone hold the post as a manager?Yes perhaps with proper training, exposure and sufficient experience,a good manager could be born.But a manager also has to know his or her responsibility which includes three major elements:
A project manager must maintain the appropriate balance between these three elements.
A manager also has some options to make when it comes to the Management Models.They can choose The Traditional Organizational Hierarchy Model,Project Co-ordination Model or the Delicate Tension Model.
The Traditional Organizational Hierarchy Model.
- In this model, the manager has the full authority
- Decisions are taken at the top by the manager and then pass downwards to the other staffs.
- This may not make everyone happy as it denies the fact that expertise in specific areas lies near the bottom of the hierarchy.
The Project Co-ordination Model
- The manager will be at the centre of the hub,coordinating activities.
- The manager can easily loose control of the management process as desicions are made with no reference to the manager.
The Delicate Tension Model
- this is a more satisfactory model
- the manager is in possession of power and authority
- but the formal/infomal reporting and communication oo the other parties, without reference to the manager, as acceptable.
