The job duties of a manager can vary widely depending
on the industry, but certain responsibilities are common to managers in all fields. Managers are responsible for managing other people, whether it be a small team or a large department.
They are responsible for the performance of these employees, making sure that the employees complete their duties in a timely and accurate manner. Depending on the company or organization, managers may have the ability to hire and fire employees, or at least have significant input into these decisions.
In many companies, there are several tiers, or levels, of management. Managers supervise employees at one level but may have to report to higher management as well. A good manager has respect for all of his or her employees, and understands how to encourage and motivate employees in a positive way. If a manager is knowledgeable in his or her field but is not work or communicate well with other employees, he or she will often be an ineffective manager.
