A management role is a position that requires industry education and experience and supervisory skills. In most
cases, managers are mid-level employees who have experience working in the industry and have developed
important leadership skills like:

Organization: Managers oversee industry related tasks and a group of employees, often simultaneously.
Organization is vital to ensure everyone on their team, including themselves, meets their objectives.

Communication: One of the hallmarks of a managerial position is regular communication with team
members to ensure they have the tools and resources they need to complete their assigned tasks.

Decision-making: Often, managers must make decisions for their team effectively and efficiently.

Problem-solving: If team members face internal conflict or need assistance overcoming a challenge, it's
often the manager who helps solve the problem.

Collaboration: Managers usually work with their team and with other managers to ensure everyone is
meeting their objectives.

Delegation: One of a manager's duties is often to delegate tasks and assignments to their team members.

Motivation: Excellent managers ensure their employees are motivated and incentivized to maintain high
