Who is a manager?
A manager is a person who is responsible to control a business or an organization. There might be another way to define manager and there might also be a other duties of a manager but in all he just control organization, group and business.

Most people think in terms of a business, one needs a manager but I think it is not all businesses that need a manager. How I'm I saying this? Because maybe you are running small business and in this case you don't need a manager unless you see your business expanding.

Good managing system can generate you more money while poor managing system can make you run loss. There even if you are to select a manager, you have to fine a trusted one and not any person who called himself a manager.

Remember a lot of businesses have collapsed due to poor managing system.. Is better you pick a common man to be your manager than to take your family member as your manager because if care is not taking your business will collapse.

A manager is a person who is placed in a position where by he or she will be in charge of controling the affires of a company/firm or a small scale business.

Without a manager in a firm, everything about the place won't go according to how the owner of the company expects it to be.

The manager is the second in charge of the place, therefore; he or she is closer to the director compared to the employees.

If the company is having some question mark due to the mismanagement of the manager, all the blames will go direct to he or she. This is how you will know that particular person you placed there as your manager,if he is worth the position or not. So you can know if he is helping matters or not.

Managers has a huge of a role to play in a firm.

It is quite a rare occurrence for a director of a company to also play the role of a manager.
Maybe he hasn't gotten a capable person yet that can handle the position,he can aswell take it upon him or herself, pending on when there would be someone who is capable of such a position.

In essence,the director taking charge of both position at a time,it will be multi tasking.
So, this is why there is need for a manager to take his or her position in a company/firm.

like you already said the work of a manager is to control and facilitate activities and practices in a business organisation . Every businesses today needs a manager and accept the business is a sole proprietorship type then only the sloe proprietor is entrusted with the activity and duty to control and facilitate his or her own business . but in a case where employees and employers are involved . The manager is said to be the general head he is the final bus stop and his decision is final and cannot be interrupted by the employees . Being a business manager is not a piece of cake or easy rather it is a very prestigious but uneasy job to crack this is because the manager has the right to make final decisions about the business after considering the business records .

And sometimes this business decisions might not go as planned , leading to a disappointing and devastating effect on the business . For managers not to perform mistakes like this they must develop their skill sets and creativity abilities . In other words they must have the ability to think positively toward the business in which they control they shouldn't make irrational and unwise decision .

Not all business demands the need for a manager, though the size of the business also plays an important role as well. A small business has no need for a manager. There are some business owners right now that do not have a need for a manager but it will definitely get to a stage where the they would not be able to handle the business on their own, they would require the help of a manager.

Having a manager for your business is an integral aspect of business that every business owner needs to consider .

But we have to be realistic, and consider the fact that not everyone can be able to hire another person to serve as a manager for them and their business . Most especially if you consider small businesses where the owner is even struggling to see how he or she can manage a business and keep it running it will be very difficult for such an individual to ever consider hiring a business owner for themselves .

Gone are the days where information is scarce . These days, whether you do not have enough information or knowledge about what it takes to be a business manager , you can take different courses either online or offline and see to it that you work on yourself and develop those skills expected of a business manager. .

When you are able to do this, you will definitely deliver so much more and won't even see the need to hire somebody else to come and handle the managerial aspect of your business .

Information is power, and it is all that you need in this aspect, especially if you do not have the money.

The short answer is no. However, that also doesn’t mean that you should be managing your own business.

Not every business needs a manager to function—but they do need to have someone in charge who can make the right decisions for the team and the company. And, while you may be able to make those decisions yourself, you also need to be able to identify when it might not be the best idea for you to be the one making them.

There are a lot of benefits to being independent and managing your own business, but there are also a lot of challenges. Here are some of the biggest:

You’ll have more autonomy and freedom over your work and schedule. You won’t have any bosses or clients telling you what to do or how long it should take to do it. This is great if you want creative control over how things get done, but it can also lead to a lack of structure and accountability. You might find that your work suffers because there’s no one else there keeping track of progress or making sure everything gets done on time.

You won’t have anyone else around who knows what's going on with your business or projects—so if something comes up, you'll have nobody to criticise or offer you idea on how to move forward.

Some businesses need managers and some do not need managers. If you are going into a business you should be able to know the size of the business you are going into and if it is happens to be a very large business then you probably need the manager to assist you in running the affairs of the business but if it is a small business you probably do not need a manager.

As a business man there are a lot of things you have to know very well in order to succeed in any business venture. There are a lot of books you can read that would enhance your knowledge on how to become successful in business. This is where mentorship is also needed. It is important for anyone that wants to go into a business to seek for mentorship and guidance on how to succeed in a business venture.

Hiring a manager for your business especially if it is a big one and you are financially buoyant is important because it is his speciality and he might have worked in other businesses which gives him or her a very good experience that would help your business grow. Having a business manager is probably worth it if you can afford it.

In an organization where there are workers or staffs having a manager is important. Just as your staffs are different so are their roles and functions different. You need someone who can organize them and make sure things are running smoothly like they ought to be.

Having a manager helps you take short breaks from your business, you could go out to eat, relax or even go on a trip if your manager is trusted and reliable, it makes the work load lesser on you.

Moreso having a good manager means having a good business. Managers are the brain behind a business they help pass their goals, makes them explore their values potentials and makes the production of your company grow and improve

Absolutely and undoubtedly yes , every business no matter whether in small-scale or large-scale actually needs a business manager . Sometimes the manager could be the owner of the business as seen in the case of a sole proprietor business and also in huge commercial business organisations the owner of the business can also still be the manager . In other large scale business organisations , the manager is actually separated from the owner of the business the manager is known as the business manager or the owner of the business is known as the CEO or the executive officer or director . Whatever the case may be it is mandatory and important that every business owns it manager , the work of a business manager is very important that is why he must be available in the business environment so as to handle business activities dealings and doings probably between his employees and the client or customers etc .

It is important that an individual who calls himself a business manager must be smart and alert , he must be good in areas of making business decisions . His ability to make proper and long effect-lasting business decisions actually depends on his rate of creativity that is why it advised that a business manager should be even more creative and must understand how to run and facilitate a business other than any other individual in the business organisation .

This is very interesting, there is no way we can start any business if we do not at one time or another assume the position of a manager. The role of starting a business is not meant for someone without any quality of management. Starting a business involves planning, And planning is one key function of a manager. A manager is someone who takes his or her time to plan extensively on how to set up and lay out the roles and objectives of the business. Again a manger looks at how funds will be raised to manage and run the business effectively. All these are what is needed to manage a busines

So obviously we are all managers in our little way. It is not when we occupy the sewt of a manager that we would be regarded as a manager. So almost every business can not thrive without the help of someone who will act as a manager it is very necessary for us all to take up the role of a manager in every sphere of our lives, most especially in business. Without having a good management system in place we will certainly have a dysfunction business and slow or no progress.

Before you go into any business one of the questions that will come to mind is 'Does this busines I'm going for need a manager?'. It is not all businesses that will need a manager. Large scale businesses will definitely need a manager to run its affairs but small scale businesses may or may not need a manager to run its affairs since it will probably be one individual in charge of the business

Manager is someone who manages management functions or elements such as planning, organizing, implementing, directing and controlling. In large companies, managers are generally divided into segments or sections such as financial managers, production managers, purchasing managers, sales managers, etc. In small businesses, transactions are not too many and not complicated and are still easy to monitor, so the manager's role as above can be held and controlled alone, generally the business owner. If the business is growing, one of the manager's roles can be replaced by the family, usually the wife, to handle business finances. So in essence the role of the manager must always exist in every business.

A manager role can never be underestimated. It is the soul of any business organisation. The moment will do not have a good manager, the moment the business will start crumbling. This is to show the extent to which a good organization needs a good manager. The following are also some of the roles of a good manager.

He makes sure that the business is controlled. He uses all his power to turn the business around. That's why s good manager must be a man of inbuilt leadership skill who is ready to pivot the business to any direction that he deems it fit.

Aside from this, there is also a more reason for a good manager to know the right tools to use. That's why is incumbent on a good manager to know how to hire the right hands to use for the business operations. Most time, he goes further to change hands when there is nobody that's qualified among the workers.


He also makes sure that he settles disputes among his workers. There is no way there won't be disputes among workers and the fact is that they need someone that's very intelligent to handle such situations. Hencez the need for mamager is very impertinent..

Almost all business need a manager , I can say that 99% of businesses will need a manager and I don't know of any business that doesn't needs it . What this means is that is not necessarily that you have to employ someone to manage your business for you. As we all understand a manager is someone that manages and takes care of every affairs and activities that goes on in a business organisation. It depends on the type of business that will determine the type of manager you will need in the business.

A simple business will not need you to employ someone to take care of its affairs as you can be the real manager that can take care of everything that goes on in the business . you also control the amount of products that are being produced or imported depending on the demand and supply for it.

At the same time , in a well-organised business organisation , you should be ready to employ a professional manager into your business for effective business management and so on , except you are capable of taking such responsibility.

What I'm trying to say is that it is not a compulsory that you have to employ in a manager but almost every business needs it.

The answer is no.

Every business does not need a manager. In fact, some businesses are better off without managers.

Many businesses start out as small operations that don't need much in the way of management. The owners are able to do everything themselves and run the business well enough for it to be successful. As such, it's possible for a business owner to get away with doing everything on his or her own for quite some time.

However, as a business grows and becomes more complex, it will eventually reach a point where having someone else take over certain tasks is necessary—someone who can oversee all aspects of the operation and ensure things are running smoothly. This is where managers come in. They make sure employees are working as efficiently as possible by making sure they have what they need to do their jobs properly (e.g., tools, resources) while also keeping an eye out for any issues that may arise so they can address them before they become major problems.

Managers also help ensure that employees are happy with their jobs by communicating regularly with them about what's going on within the organization as well as offering opportunities for growth within their positions if need be."

The answer to this question is a resounding yes! Every business, no matter how large or small, needs someone in charge to make sure that things are running smoothly. This person is typically known as a manager.


A manager is responsible for a variety of tasks, such as overseeing employees, ensuring that company policies are being followed, and preparing reports. They also play a critical role in developing and implementing strategies that will help the business grow.


First, ask yourself if your business is growing. If it is, then you will likely need a manager to help you keep up with the growth. Second, ask yourself if you are struggling to keep up with day-to-day operations. If the answer is yes, then you will need a manager to help you with routine tasks. Finally, ask yourself if you need someone to help you plan for the future of your business. If you do, then a manager is a good investment.


If you decide that you need a manager, the next step is to find the right person for the job. This can be a daunting task, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure that the manager has the necessary skills and experience. Second, make sure that they are a good fit for your company culture. Finally, make sure that they are motivated and capable of taking on additional responsibility.

Normally , Every business will always need a manager and without a manager in a business the business is just like a sheep without control because no one will be available to direct the affair of the business which will enhance the smooth running of the business.

In some businesses , the owner of the business will always be the manager because they are the one to decide how the business will be managed and the overall activities that would likely take place in the business.

In larger business organisation , managers are always people that are qualified academically , it could be an accountant or someone that is qualified and has so much experience on the area of the business. These professional will help the business grow to the expected standard.

Anyone who establishes a business without any intention of employing a manager into the business will automatically be the manager of the business because if you are not employing anyone in then obviously you are the one to take responsibilities.
