In every company, small or large, there is one person holding its fortunes in his/her hands and that is the manager.

A manager is the person who runs the company on a daily basis giving solutions or making decisions where needed.

So, it is very important to see what the key task of a person with such great responsibility is.

You may have noticed in your company or in other companies, which you probably know their operations of, that there are areas of the company which are not functioning as they should or the results of their operation are less than expected. This results in a more general "braking" of the company.
Although the reasons for this can be many and varied, it is the manager who has the overall and ultimate responsibility for this.

The primary task of a manager is to manage and direct a company so that it operates at the highest level of performance, making the most of its potential.

This means that the structure of the company should be simple and functional in order to facilitate production in its various segments.

It also means that every employee should also work to the fullest of their abilities.

Certainly, this does not happen in most companies.

The right manager must know exactly the situation in every part of his company and whether or not it is performing at 100% of its potential. When the manager has this image then we say that he knows exactly the "existing scene" in his company.

An existing scene can be very good, acceptable, or bad as an overall picture and generally the manager manages good and bad situations on a daily basis about his business.

So, when we say "existing scene", we mean what is happening to the company at this time.

So, the manager is there to make sure that the existing scene is improving. In fact, the main responsibility of a manager is to understand and know how and why good and bad situations occur in his company and with appropriate instructions and interventions to direct things as closely as possible to the ideal scene and the visions set in relation to the activity of the company.
