Managers generally answer the question “What do you do?” in many different ways. How would you answer the question? List and explain your choices. For any organization the manager is in an important position to plan and organize ideas. Monitor and direct staff towards a common goal and choose the right person for the right position. This is what I will do as a manager.1) Planning: It is essential to conceptualize the entire idea and plan the project towards a common goal. Before planning, I would look at the entire situation of the company regarding available resources, funds and internal/external environment. And after that I will make a blueprint for the whole project/work. I will make sure what the common goal is, how many people I need for the job and what the pros/cons are in achieving the goals. 2) Staff: choose the right person for the right job. With the help of the human resources department I will select the right team for the job. Make them understand their work and motivate them to achieve long-term goals. I will discuss the entire plan during the meeting with each team member. 3) Organize: Organize the entire project by creating a strong “chain of command” and assigning available resources to team members to complete the work. Constantly supervise your work with weekly/biweekly meetings and progress updates. Establish good collaboration with other departments who can help in the project. Build good relationships… middle of the paper… Have you ever had to work with another department on a particular project or asked for help from another department? (Horizontal responsibility: how well he/she can work with other colleagues.) 5) Describe your management style. How did you get along with your hierarchy and the people in the lower hierarchy who work with you in your department? (Vertical Accountability: How successful is getting work done from the lower hierarchy and being accountable to the hierarchy) 6) How do you rate success? What are your future plans for this company and for yourself? (This will allow me to get an idea of his enthusiasm for this position and his emotional strength and commitment that he is willing to put into play) So, by asking these questions I will get the summary of the candidates' experiences, their management style, the inter- and intra-departmental coordination and emotional strength.
