The six key responsibilities of a manager
1. PURPOSE - MISSION - Understanding the environment, the team's comparative competence and what value it creates. Clarifying the mission, vision and objectives. Setting the course and priorities.
2. PURPOSE - GOALS - What will be achieved in the time frame? Qualitative and Quantitative. Understanding, setting and managing the financial budget and the non-financial goals.
3. PEOPLE - CULTURE - Setting an example on character, behaviours and values. How we get things done around here? What are aspirational behaviours? What are the accepted behaviours? What is not tolerated?
4. PEOPLE - ENGAGEMENT - Attracting the right people and fully engaging them. Maximising people's strengths and making their weaknesses irrelevant. Developing people (including one's self). Considering how they perform, how they communicate and how they are encouraged.
5. PERFORMANCE - ORGANISING - Organising the work into manageable activities - roles, responsibilities and results.
6. PERFORMANCE - MEASUREMENTS - Scoresheets and Scoreboards. What does success look like - qualitative and quantitative? What controls, yardsticks, pulse checks will we use to track performance?
