Managers must ensure that things run smoothly - Deepstash

Managers must ensure that things run smoothly

This managerial myth is partly true yet misleading because it tells only half the story. Ensuring an operation is operating smoothly is a challenging task, and maintaining the status quo can absorb all of a junior manager's time and energy.

But new managers also need to realise they are responsible for recommending and initiating change. This means challenging existing processes or structures beyond their area of formal authority. New managers need to see themselves as change agents within and outside the areas of responsibility in which their teams operate.
