Anna is having lunch with her sister Barbara. Anna has just
accepted a position as an Administrative Assistant. Ho boss is an executive with a firm that manufactures heavy machinery used in construction.
Barbara You've got a new job, Anna. My congratulations.
Anna Thanks, Barbara.
Barbara Tell me a few words about your boss. What does he
do?
Anna Well, he is one of the vice presidents of the company, so he's rather important. He is an executive.
Barbara Do you know the difference between an executive, a
manager and an administrator?
Anna I am afraid I can hardly tell you the difference. I
think these words are interchangeable and they
really aren't different in many companies. Barbara What about your company?
Anna In our company the top officers are called
administrators. The next highest group - the vice
presidents, the heads of major departments and
branch plant managers - are executives like my boss. Barbara Is that all?
Anna The group below consists of managers, they are
general managers and foremen.
Barbara SoI see that an organization has a number of
positions and some people have more authority
than others.
Anna You are right.
Barbara But it would be interesting to know more about the
functions of an executive like your boss.
Anna I'd say he makes a lot of important decisions. He
sets objectives, coordinates work, delegates
authority, makes hiring, firing, evaluating
and just general leading.
Barbara It seems to be important.
Anna It is important. It's evident that making careful
decisions is the basis of good management.
Barbara But do you work under much pressure?
Anna Barbara, you know I am quite used to working under
pressure from my last job. I am also accustomed to
lots of paper work and red tape.
Barbara Good for you.
Anna And what's more important I feel that 1 can learn a
lot because my boss is very competent.
Barbara Good, I think we'd be in a hurry not to get late for
the work.
