The managerial job is highly dynamic and result driven
It is well known that the managerial job is highly dynamic and result driven. What is probably less known is how it is perplexed with heterogeneous activities daily. The following excerpt depicts this complexity very well:
"... results must be the goal of all leaders, and they should revolve around the following: operating results (revenues, costs, profit), customer results (acquisition, retention, penetration, satisfaction), leadership results (setting direction, communicating, developing people, setting standards), management results (control, quality, timeliness), relationships (working relationships, team play, internal and external, business and government), social responsibility (doing right by the community, governments, and environment), and individual technical competence..."
Even though this list might not be exhaustive, it perfectly illustrates the intricacies of managerial work.
