Being a Manager

Менеджер

Managers are not born overnight, because you rarely meet a manager fresh out of school or college or even university. One should gain a certain degree of life and work experience before he may become a successful manager. Some people can come out of university and get into a management role but they will usually be called a management trainee and will be on a graduate training scheme.

Менеджерами не рождаются, потому что вы редко встретите менеджера прямо из школы или колледжа, или даже университета. Нужно приобрести определенный опыт в жизни и работе, прежде чем стать успешным менеджером.  Некоторые люди могут окончить университет и работать в управлении, но их, как правило, будут называть стажерами.

The best way to get into a management role is to work hard and take note of what a senior manager does and remember what previous managers have done before. A manager needs to manage his staff, this doesn’t mean to order them around and expect them to do all the work. A successful manager never asks his staff to do tasks they would never do or they are not capable of doing If he doesn’t know how to do anything himself, how will his subordinates be capable of doing this task?

Самый лучший способ попасть в управление – усердно работать и принять во внимание, что делает старший менеджер и помнить, что делали предыдущие руководители. Менеджеру нужно управлять своими сотрудниками. Это не означает приказывать им и ожидать, что они выполнят всю работу. Успешный менеджер никогда не просит своих сотрудников выполнять задания, которые они никогда не сделают или не способны выполнить. Если он не знает, как сделать что-то самому, как смогут выполнить эту задачу его подчиненные?

People don’t just thrive on paying a decent salary and earning bonuses. We all like telling we’ve done something well, to give a sense of pride in our accomplishments. Any manager would also like to hear from his superiors that he has managed a project well or that he has had good feedback from his team about his leadership skills.

Люди не просто процветают, выплачивая достойную заработную плату или зарабатывая бонусы. Мы все любим говорить, что сделали что-то хорошо, чтобы гордиться за наши достижения. Любой менеджер также хотел бы услышать от своего начальства, что он хорошо выполнил свой проект или он имел хорошие отзывы от своей команды о своих лидерских качествах.

Some people get to management level and have difficulties delegating tasks which can be easily carried out by their subordinates. One needs to learn to let go and trust his staff to complete the work he used to do himself.  The worst type of manager is someone who hands an idea to the board and pretends it was his idea when it was someone’s else.

Некоторые люди поднимаются по карьерной лестнице и испытывают трудности делегирования задач, которые могут быть легко осуществимы их подчиненными. Необходимо научиться отпускать и доверять своим сотрудникам оканчивать работу, которую делал сам. Самый худший тип менеджера- это тот, кто подает идею и притворяется, что это была его идея.
