It’s essential that communications professionals first understand what managers and directors are trying to achieve – and the processes in the business – before they are able to communicate this information effectively throughout the organisation. This requires a good understanding of general management. You will perform detailed analyses of a range of business cases to aid your understanding; each one focuses on a different functional area of management.
The value of the general management perspective becomes particularly clear to communicators when running a function (like Media Relations) or department (like Corporate Communication); for it is here that the interplay of different functional imperatives—with their often conflicting views—becomes most apparent. Thus, this course focuses on the challenge of effectively combining the requirements of each functional area with the overall needs of the enterprise.
General management
The general manager is responsible for the management of the
function or department. He or she is ultimately responsible for the
success or failure of the area of the organisation—whether it is
for-profit or not, whether it is domestic or international, whether
it is small or large. Thus, general managers throughout the
organisation can include CEOs, entrepreneurs in start-ups, leaders
of business units in larger companies, executive directors of
charitable organisations, presidents and prime ministers of
countries, and, for the purposes of this course, heads of corporate
communication departments or functions. General managers are also
leaders—the people who set the organisational purpose and create an
environment where success happens.
The job of the general manager as leader requires proficiency in three important and distinct areas:
- Critical thinking (about various strategies and business models);
- Innovation and creativity (by exploring opportunities, understanding discontinuities, and crafting strategy);
- Intuition.
Although we rely on frameworks to guide our thinking wherever possible, there is a certain "messiness" in the general manager’s job that cannot be ignored.
The complexity and responsibility of the general manager’s job make it one of the most important in an organisation. Accordingly, many, perhaps most, students will aspire to such positions at some point in their career. This course will lay a foundation about the general manager’s job that can be built on throughout the rest of your career.
