Bob is a senior level manager. He is creating a performance review for one of his sub-managers, Chris. He is reviewing Chris’s personnel time management, financial and budget usage, and overall resource management. Which aspect of management is Bob focusing his review on?
Explanation
Answer: B - When looking at the efficiency of a manager, all three factors should be considered: personnel time management, financial and budget usage, and resource management.
Key Takeaway: The efficiency with which a project or task is completed depends on how well the manager utilizes his or her resources such as personnel, money, and materials. The more efficient a manager is, the more the entire organization can accomplish. To increase a manager’s efficiency, he will need to ensure that his personnel’s time is used well, that he stays within budget constraints, and that all resources are allocated properly.
