What is a middle manager? I like being a coordinating leader, but I want to be a proactive leader.

Hello. This is Tenmei Watanabe from Seito Medical School. This time, I would like to rewrite about middle management as it is a medical school rewrite. Below is the pre-rewrite article.


Middle management. Hmm. I believe that the role of a middle manager is to provide a model for the workplace. In this blog, we believe that middle management positions are the key to communication and are necessary for creating a team atmosphere. If it's not my imagination, I feel that middle managers are the ones who take the initiative and work harder than anyone else.


Recently, there was a story on internet news about how a boss's role is to leave notes. I think it's a good idea to leave notes. By writing memos, the workplace will be clearer and more clear with instructions about who said what and how, and who should act in what way.


I'm basically the type of person who says, "Don't look at the trees, look at the forest, look at me!!", so my boss's role is to come to work earlier than everyone else and work more overtime than anyone else to make sure it's not wasted until the end. I am thinking. My way of thinking is rooted in the Showa era (I'm in my 30s), but I would say that I'm a proactive leader, where the boss works the hardest and the subordinates watch and follow the boss.


There are books that say that it is important for modern leaders to create a work environment, but above all, it is important for bosses to take the initiative to create valuable work and pass it on to their subordinates. I'm thinking.


Some bosses create unnecessary work, but the idea is that the boss's role is to find work that will contribute to sales, and it is the boss who asks his subordinates to do that work. If it is a normal business, it can be handled by the usual number of people. This is where the skill of a boss lies in finding new work that will improve performance.


It's also a really good way to improve your business. In any case, think of ways to make it better than the current situation. If business performance is improving, everyone is happy. When superiors improve their performance, their subordinates naturally strive to improve their performance as well. In other words, it is necessary to create a positive cycle.


Although he is a player-type leader, he does not simply handle his work casually. I take the initiative in my work, and while I'm at it, I even create a manual. Of course, it is necessary to delegate the creation of manuals to subordinates, but first, as a superior, you should show your subordinates an example. This is something I can do because I am a player-type leader.


After showing a basic example, have your subordinates try their best to find their own strategies through trial and error. In the article before the rewrite, I wrote that I was nervous about becoming a middle manager, but appealing to subordinates that I am doing my job is effective, and actually doing high value-added work, that is, contributing to sales. I'll find a job to do.


It's ok. A model case could be a boss who communicates in the latest fashion and brightens the atmosphere. However, I am a player who wants to take the initiative in not only creating an atmosphere but also increasing sales, so as a playing manager I am aiming for the star job of creating new jobs that will increase sales.


Once an employee has determined that a job will be profitable, he or she will create a manual and hand over authority to subordinates. Since the subordinate's performance will improve relatively easily, the workplace will be full of motivation, there will be no fruitless situation of holding each other back, and the subordinate will be willing to cooperate with the superior.


Of course, there are some people who don't want to work from morning until night, but if you can invest your time into work, you can work longer hours than others, have a decent amount of private time, and even take in new knowledge outside of work hours. I think it's an interesting experience.


In fact, it is a hardship to continue working like this until you are in your 50s, but in my opinion, you will gain more than you will lose even if you focus solely on your work during your 20s or until your mid-30s. People who keep their work and private lives strictly separate probably keep in mind that their lives follow the same rhythm from the time they get a job until they retire.


However, I think that this is where you should focus your efforts and that the results will not be bad if you concentrate on your work until you are in your 20s or mid-30s. Of course, there are things that can only be done when you are young, such as youth. Everyone has different values ​​when it comes to this, so it's hard to say what's good.


However, as a lifestyle, by devoting yourself to work in your 20s or until your mid-30s, you can gain a far greater advantage over others in terms of job title and experience.


I think I can recover even if I'm in my 40s. I think there are many working adults in their 40s who were unable to get a full-time job during the job hunting ice age. However, if you have a certain qualification, it is possible to earn more than the average annual salary.


If you don't make that little bit of effort and remain a non-regular temporary employee forever, you're the one who's taking chances unexpectedly. There are many opportunities for financial success with just a little effort.


To that end, I don't think you will regret it if you break away from being the same as everyone else and take on a challenge, such as studying hard for a one-year qualification. This is also a matter of values, so if you say that there is no point in getting qualifications, I won't deny it. If so, you can make other efforts to break out of the status quo.


This is a long story, but I think that the role of boss must have the heaviest burden and responsibility. That's why you can receive a lot of authority and good treatment as your boss. Some people may think that my way of thinking is old-fashioned. The idea of ​​``Can you work 24 hours a day?'' in the Showa era.


However, I have not experienced the Showa era, and I was born in the Heisei era. As someone who was born in the Heisei era, I am saying that there is some truth to the way people worked in the Showa era. It might be a good idea for you to aim to become a coordinating communication leader. That's the latest trend, and that's probably why I don't want to jump on the bandwagon.


Well, in conclusion, values ​​vary from person to person. The best solution may be to become a unique leader. That's all for now. Thank you for joining me in my story. Let's meet again. See you soon.
