Dialogue

Anna is having lunch with her sister Barbara. Anna has just

accepted a position as an Administrative Assistant. Her 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 executives

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  So I 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 I 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.
