Interview with a manager Reaction

During our interview with the manager of Chinabank, we understood the functions of a manager more namely Planning,Leading, Organizing, and Control. We learned that the manager plans to reach his or the company's set goal or completion of a certain task, Organizing the people involve to achieve what was planned, Lead them to maintain the progress and remind their goal or task at hand, and lastly Control the people on what they are assigned to do to avoid confusion and overtime. We have also learned that managers are dependent on the information they receive. Therefore, making them cautious to information they receive by personally confirming it to their higher Superior or the place where the information was made. Information is like a sick person, wrong information worsens the illness of the person making treatment more complex, while accurate and right information makes a sick person all better without making things more complex. Mostly information is the support beams of a manager. The information provides the foundation on how the manager will Plan, Organize, Lead, and Control his people. one wrong information may cause a chain reaction on which all managers are trying to avoid at all cost. In our conclusion, information plays a vital part in every organization and in every lives of people because it is what we base all our things to it.
