MD’s Diary

5. The MD’s Diary
If you talk about my role in the organization and where I put my efforts then the first area is in the strategic direction of the organization. I spend most of my time thinking about where the organization is going and how we are going to move it there. The vision of the organization and strategic direction is of critical importance.
That’s what I see my role. So a lot of my time is making sure that I am coaching, and directing and leading people in the direction that will deliver that vision and those key strategic objectives. That’s where most of my effort goes.
We do the work today but I try to maintain my focus out another year or two all the time and where we want to be in 3 years time.
Apart from that are normal operational requirements of --- making sure that costs are under control, quality and safety is addressed to and customers are being supported in the right way. That’s my time !

6. The Subordinate’s Log

7. The subordinate’s Log
Being the first line manager means you are the meat in the sandwich. You have responsibilities for subordinates and are yourself a subordinate.
Since I was promoted from the ranks (non-managers), I face a number of challenges. Those who were friends and colleagues yesterday were all of a sudden individuals I needed to direct. I needed to deal with the personal internal conflict of what was best for the firm , and what was best for my subordinates. What was comfortable for me and what was satisfying senior management.
Another issue was that I had to manage senior individuals with greater experience and knowledge of the business than I had.
I am trying to keep balance between colleagues, customers and the administrative and reporting functions that senior management required.
