There is a special group of people in the business who are given the expectations of a leader, but often fall into the predicament of a nanny. They are the managers of the business. They walk between strategy and execution, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of enterprise development. Today, we're going to dive into the role and dilemma of managers.
Every manager has a vision that their team can be the best in their industry. They aspire to bring out the best in their employees and lead the business to glory. But the reality is that this "leader's heart" is often in stark contrast to the "nanny's life".
Imagine standing at the top of a tall building with a wide view and ambitions. But when you look down, you'll find that the trivia and questions are endless, time-consuming, laborious, and distracting, distracting you from the real strategy. It's like a never-ending relay race, and the slightest mistake can lead to a total loss.
As a manager, you not only have to have a forward-looking strategic vision, but you also have to deal with the day-to-day chores. These chores include both dealing with conflicts between employees and ensuring that day-to-day operations run smoothly. You're like a babysitter who has to take care of the day-to-day routine of your "extended family" while making sure that every little detail doesn't go wrong.
In this role, managers are often under pressure from all sides. Your boss expects you to create results, and your subordinates expect more support and guidance from you. And when you stand in the middle, you will find that balancing the interests of all parties is an extremely difficult task. You may find yourself struggling to find the perfect balance while trying to balance the interests of all parties.
The role of managers in Chinese companies is more complex. In "The Analects of Zizhang", it is said: "A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born from the beginning." This means that as a manager, you should not only pay attention to the fundamental issues and development direction of the enterprise, but also ensure that every detail is in line with the logic and values of the company's development. This requires a high level of balance and judgment.
In the face of such a dilemma, how can managers deal with themselves? There is only one answer: to improve your ability through continuous learning and practice. In this process, the spirit of "the road is long, I will go up and down and seek" is particularly important. You need to have a deeper understanding of human nature, master management skills, and improve decision-making skills. Only in this way can you truly become an excellent manager who can not only have the heart of a leader, but also bear the life of a nanny.
As a manager of a business, you are not only the executor of the strategy, but also the guardian of the day-to-day operations. In the face of adversity and pressure, you need to find a balance and reach your full potential. Hopefully, this article will provide you with some inspiration and help to better cope with the challenges and succeed.
