1. How do managers differ from nonmanagerial employees?

Answer: In today’s work environment the organization can runs with the coordination of both
managerial and non-managerial position. Leadership, planning, policy making, supervision etc.
comes under managerial position which indicates that all management functions are done by
managerial employees .But Non -managerial are responsible to carrying out functions for the
organization.

It means Managerial position have border responsibility, so they are in- charge steering the
overall running of the business activities. And non- managerial position responsible for
executing functions or jobs as guided by managerial positions. Hence they have a more limited
range of responsibilities towards organisation.

Managerial positions have a wide range of decision-making powers, which is based on their
hierarchical level and non-managerial position are guided by their senior so they have no
decision making powers.

2. Is your course instructor a manager? Discuss in terms of managerial functions,

managerial roles, and skills.

Ans: Instructors need to be good leaders just like managers. They need to have certain attributes
similar to managers in order to complete specific tasks. These attributes include; being able to
plan, organize, lead and control students. They should plan and organize students, student's
assignments on time, and the topics and lessons they are going to teach them. They should also
be able to organize students in groups so that they can encourage team work. Moreover, they
need to be able to lead students by guiding them both in classwork, assignments and other issues
and control students to ensure that they are not getting out of line.

Furthermore, instructors need to have specific skills such as proper communication with their
students, critical decision-making attributes, and problem-solving skills. They also have to be
good time managers by coming to class on time, and giving out and collecting assignments on
time. These attributes are similar to those of a manager in one way or another. This is because,
instructors have the role motivating students, evaluating their performances, guiding and
instructing them and avoiding crisis situations and solving problems whenever they arise. These
skills are critical in helping the instructor create a good relationship with students just as they
help managers create good relationships with employees. Moreover, these skills show that the
instructor is concerned with their student's welfare outside of class. Therefore, my course
instructor is a manager.
