Why are there so many Managers in the NHS?

Because the NHS is rubbish!!!\n\nSeriously though, I think the NHS is slowly going down the drain. Having said that, the manager of our TSSU was sacked with no notice last week because they couldn't afford to keep her on. It was between her and our theatre manager, but because our theatre manager has worked for longer, she got kept on. Its really scary being at work at the moment, because you never know if you're gonna have a job when you arrive in the morning.

i guess it would mainly be situations where something "took off" and the person in the job handling it is very overworked and the entity doesn't realize they need to hire help in that area.  For example if the number of students goes from 10 to 1000 the person who is handling student services is going to be overworked if management doesn't figure out this impact.  It also happens the other way - things have less to do (for example if military training in a certain area goes way down because they are phasing out that system) then sometimes a person is left handling it and essentially has nothing to do.  This is more of an impact on the organization because the person cannot contribute.

When it is hard to find jobs, then management can pretty much call the shots. When it is hard to find workers, management has to offer more to attract employees.

if your a logistical person, good at organising things but not so keen on disciplining other go for higher management. Strangely the psychological requirements for being a good upper level manager is the same as nursing. Problem solving and looking after about 15 things.\n\nlower level management is more people skills, less problem skills.\n\nTechnology?  hmm, if you like designing things and have a good imagination, so so on the maths go for industrial design or architecture.\n\nIndustrial designers do what i imagined engineers did\nengineers do lower level management

Most managers aren't able to run an office efficiently in their employees eyes. Every employee thinks they could run the office better than their manager and more often than not it seems that the manager isnt pulling the same weight is their employees although the manager has different tasks to handle.

I feel your pain.  \n\nI think managers will give you more work than you are supposed to do to test you.  Can you be taken advantage of?  Can you figure out a way to be more efficient with your work?\n\nThey get the answers to those questions based on whether you can complete the additional work.

I DONT THINK THEY LOOK AT IT AS AN ETHICAL CHOICE,  ITS BUSINESS.  AS A BOSS I WANT TO KEEP THE BEST WORKERS HAPPY SO THAT THE SLACKERS EITHER LEAVE OR PICK UP THEIR PACE.   I THINK ITS NECESSARY FOR A MANAGER TO COMPARE HIS/HER EMPLOYEES WHEN THERE IS A PROMOTION IN LINE.  THE BEST WORKER SHOULD GET AHEAD.

I agree. If you are doing a good job then you need to speak up. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Managers have a lot of things to do. If you work hard and are not being recognized you need to make yourself known to them. I have had multiple management positions and for all of them I just walked up and asked my manager what I needed to do to get a promotion. Many managers enjoy straight people who just go up to them and are bold and confident.

Perhaps only in Universities (Academia) at the level of research directors. Good people skills are usually essential for effective management.

Have a look on the NHS.gov website.  They're very good at plucking targets and stuff out of thin air without consulting the medics at the coal face!!  When I snuff it, I'm coming back to sort out the NHS as my biggest strength I am told is bringing order out of chaos!!

Medical services are booming these days because populations increasing. No of aged people ( senior citizens) is also increasing. That is why nursing/nurses in demand

I suppose you mean to write 'recruitment'. non managerial staff are engaged for performance of a given duty with lessor discretion and hence obedience is in high rating. In case of managerial staff, it is discretion for business improvement that is valued more and hence decisionmaking/ discretion/poise/costawareness needs to be ascertained. Hence in the former the process is to run a check on formal qualifications while in the latter it is knowledge/ skill/ attitude/aptitude/interest that needs to be checked. Obviously personal interview, written tests, behaviouraL RESPONSE CHECKING shall be undertaken

Efforts and positive work ethic don't go unnoticed.  Managers come from two different schools of thought though.  It's either positive-reinforcement or negative-reinforcement.  Working for the latter tends to suck but they drive results just the same.  At the end of the day if you're doing a good job for either one they'll take care of you.

It means experience as a manager in many different rolls.

Usually it's because they are under stress and think the best way to motivate their people is to abuse them.  These people are usually referred to as lousy bosses.

I have been a manager in both large and small organizations and can tell you they are very different.  Both require you to interact with people, and therefore people skills are required and important.  However, often in smaller organizations the manager needs a broader skillset.  In larger organizations, the managers can often "specialize" and be responible for a small part of the process, still having a large span of control.  For example, at the warehouse where I was a manager, I was responsible for a small part of the process - order picking.  That was it.  Just send people out to pick the orders.  They did not pack them, did not put the stuff on the shelves, just took a CD or book off the shelf and put it in a tote to send to the next department.  But I had 45 employees and more than 100 at christmas time.  That was a large organization.  When I managed a warehouse in a smaller organization, I had only 12 employees, but I was responsible for receiving, stocking, shipping as well as payroll and safety and facilities, along with managing my 12 employeees.  So it can be very different being a manager in a small organization compared to a large one.
