Job Description & Requirements

The responsibilities of the General Manager

Leadership

A manager has to be able to set priorities and motivate your team members. This involves self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. The manager needs to radiate energy, empathy, and trust. And, remember that effective leaders work daily to develop team members through positive, constructive feedback and coaching.

Communication

The manager must become a student of effective communication in all of its applications, including one-on-one, small groups, large groups, email, remote working, and social media. Good managers realize that the most important aspect of communicating is listening.

Collaboration

The manager serves as a role model for working together. You support cross-functional efforts and model collaborative behaviors to set an example for your team members.

Critical Thinking

The manager strives to understand where and how your projects fit into the bigger picture to enhance your effectiveness. The manager reviews priorities in light of larger organizational goals. He or she translates this understanding into meaningful goals and objectives for their team members who need to understand where their work fits in the big picture.

Finance

A manager needs to learn the language of numbers. Managers must strive to understand how company funds are invested and ensure these investments earn a good return for the firm. While you don't need to be an accountant to be a manager, you must learn and apply the basics of solid financial understanding. For example, how many employees can produce the most quality product for the least cost?

Project Management

Nearly every initiative in an organization turns into a project. And, projects can become complex and unwieldy. Today’s managers understand and leverage formal project management practices to ensure timely completion and proper control of initiatives.
