Frame arguments in terms of organizational goals. People whose actions appear to blatantly further their own interests at the expense of the organization are almost universally denounced, are likely to lose influence, and often suffer the ultimate penalty of being expelled from the organization. Challenges to your actions are not likely to gain much support if your actions appear to be in the best interests of the organization. • Develop the right image. Make sure you understand what your organization wants and values from its employees— in terms of dress, associates to cultivate and those to avoid, whether to appear to be a risk taker or risk averse, the importance of getting along with others, and so forth. Because the assessment of your performance is rarely a fully objective process, you need to pay attention to style as well as substance. M01_ROBB7604_14_SE_CH01_pp002-pp029.indd 20 30/09/16 7:48 pm Chapter 1 Managers and You in the Workplace 21 CHAPTER SUMMARY by Learning Objectives TELL who managers are and where they work. Managers coordinate and oversee the work of other people so that organizational goals can be accomplished. Nonmanagerial employees work directly on a job or task and have no one reporting to them. In traditionally structured organizations, managers can be rst-line, middle, or top. In other more loosely congured organizations, the managers may not be as readily identiable, although someone must fulll that role. Managers work in an organization, which is a deliberate arrangement of people to accomplish some specic purpose. Organizations have three characteristics: They have a distinctive purpose, they are composed of people, and they have a deliberate structure. Many of today’s organizations are structured to be more open, exible, and responsive to changes. EXPLAIN why managers are important to organizations. Managers are important to organizations for three reasons. First, organizations need their managerial skills and abilities in uncertain, complex, and chaotic times. Second, managers are critical to getting things done in organizations. Finally, managers contribute to employee productivity and loyalty; the way employees are managed can affect the organization’s nancial performance, and managerial ability has been shown to be important in creating organizational value. DESCRIBE the functions, roles, and skills of managers. Broadly speaking, management is what managers do and involves coordinating and overseeing the e‚cient and ežective completion of others’ work activities. E‚ciency means doing things right; ežectiveness means doing the right things. The four functions of management include planning (dening goals, establishing strategies, and developing plans), organizing (arranging and structuring work), leading (working with and through people), and controlling (monitoring, comparing, and correcting work performance). Mintzberg’s managerial roles include interpersonal, which involve people and other ceremonial/symbolic duties (gurehead, leader, and liaison); informational, which involve collecting, receiving, and disseminating information (monitor, disseminator, and spokesperson); and decisional, which involve making choices (entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, and negotiator). Katz’s managerial skills include technical (job-specic knowledge and techniques), interpersonal (ability to work well with people), and conceptual (ability to think and express ideas). Technical skills are most important for lower-level managers, while conceptual skills are most important for top managers. Interpersonal skills are equally important for all managers. Some other managerial skills identied include managing human capital, inspiring commitment, managing change, using purposeful networking, and so forth. DESCRIBE the factors that are reshaping and redefining the manager’s job. The changes impacting managers’ jobs include global economic and political uncertainties, changing workplaces, ethical issues, security threats, and changing technology. Managers must focus on customer service because employee attitudes and behaviors play a big role in customer satisfaction. Managers must focus on technology LO1.1 LO1.2 LO1.3 LO1.4 Chapter 1 PREPARING FOR: Exams/Quizzes M01_ROBB7604_14_SE_CH01_pp002-pp029.indd 21 30/09/16 7:48 pm 22 Part 1 Introduction to Management as it impacts how things get done in organizations. Managers must focus on social media because these forms of communication are important and valuable tools in managing. Managers must focus on innovation because it is important for organizations to be competitive. Managers must also focus on sustainability as business goals are developed. And nally, managers must focus on employees in order for them to be more productive. EXPLAIN the value of studying management. It’s important to study management for three reasons: (1) the universality of management, which refers to the fact that managers are needed in all types and sizes of organizations, at all organizational levels and work areas, and in all global locations; (2) the reality of work—that is, you will either manage or be managed; and (3) the awareness of the signicant rewards (such as creating work environments to help people work to the best of their ability, supporting and encouraging others, helping others nd meaning and fulllment in work, etc.) and challenges (having to work hard, sometimes having more clerical than managerial duties, interacting with a variety of personalities, etc.) in being a manager.
