One of the main contributions of a manager to his organization is his/her ability to understand the big picture and execute in the confines of his roles and responsibilities, making sure that with the daily actions of his team, the organization as a whole is actually advancing towards the overall goal.

So that, our role as a manager is to understand and digest the company’s strategy, and then translate it for our teams into daily activities, responsibilities, Key Performance Indexes, etc. allocating resources available as efficient and effectively as possible.

When a competitive strategy is outlined, there is not necessarily a direct correlation to every group within the organization, for instance, when a directive is to achieve certain growth goals, the underlying assumption is that we will need more people, more facilities, more financial resources, etc. and each manager of these areas (Operations, Human resources, Finance) will have to interpret the goals, define how to support them, and what specific activities should be performed by each individual in their teams. So that, the same goal, meant very different and specific tasks for every manager, and for the individual employees.
