What do a general manager do?

Answer 1

General managers are ultimately responsbile for everything from door to door in a facility and are typically found in the retail, hospitality, and food service industry. Ideally, a GM would oversee all aspects of the business vs. completing individual tasks as a standard. The GM can accomplish this by training and developing his/her team to be able to effectively manage the business, from HR, to Finance, to Marketing, to Operations. The GM steps in as part of the Team where needed in order to achieve success. The GM's primary job is to figuratively "hold up the wall."
