Business Tips

experience and knowledge of their bosses and in so doing earn the complementary respect and admiration of their bosses over time.

Good work ethic -

The successful assistant manager is someone who is willing and able to put in the necessary time it takes to help make the business a success. Nine-to-fivers need not apply. Acclaimed filmmaker John Frankenheimer of โ€œThe Manchurian Candidateโ€ and โ€œBirdman of Alcatrazโ€ once said that โ€œthe importance of hard-working assistants cannot be overemphasized.โ€

Desire to be a general manager someday - Todayโ€™s assistant manager is potentially

tomorrowโ€™s general manager. Someone who is content just to be an assistant manager without fervently aspiring to become a general manager someday is, generally speaking, not someone who most general managers would want on their senior management team. (Yes, there are always exceptions.)

Passion and enthusiasm for the industry - Successful assistant managers are those people

who genuinely love their work and the particular industry they are in. It is simply put, โ€œin their blood.โ€ Hall of Famer Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs reiterated throughout his illustrious major league career that he would have gladly played baseball even if they never paid him a cent.

A willingness to be creative - The truly

successful assistant manager is someone who is willing to think outside the box. Better yet, he or she doesnโ€™t think about boxes at all. A common shortcoming of newer assistant managers is that they are on occasion too rules-oriented or too rigid. Industry-specific sense (i.e., common sense applied to oneโ€™s particular industry) comes to most assistant managers over time, especially when they are working for a mature, supportive and nurturing general manager.

An interesting person - Truly successful

assistant managers are not one-dimensional. They have creative, fulfilling personal lives and myriad interests and activities independent of their work. Some people may be particularly good at the specific tasks they perform, but seldom rise to positions of real leadership within a company, particularly that of assistant manager and/or general manager. Whatever oneโ€™s business, hiring the right assistant managers can only increase the likelihood of long-term success for everyone associated with the company. Better yet, top assistant managers make the workplace more enjoyableโ€”and when people truly love their work, productivity, customer satisfaction and profits all naturally increase. Locating, attracting, hiring and mentoring the right assistant manager is well worth the effort.
