Abstract

This study examines all stages that a ‘’manager-leader’’ must navigate, along with the essential actions required for developing into an effective manager. It considers the manager’s role as both a leader of self and of the organization, and emphasizes changes as critical prerequisites for achieving success. Furthermore, the impact of the positive and negative traits of a ‘’Level Five Manager’’ and a ‘’Toxic Leader’’ on the performance and success of contemporary organizations is analyzed. Changes have been proposed, and their implementation has resulted in a model of modern, flexible organizations in which people enjoy working, as they are neither constrained nor stressed. The discussion further examines how conflictual and stressful situations within an organization can be minimized. A contemporary manager model is proposed, one that consistently strives to prevent stressful situations and, when they occur, to address them effectively.

The concept of the ‘’art of dealing with people’’ is presented as a key factor for success, within organizations where individuals perceive themselves as members of a cohesive team. The manager, as a leader, stands out through their activity, practicality, persuasiveness, and the ability to consider and seriously evaluate ideas that may seem impossible to others. The discussion also covers fear and strategies for overcoming it, analyzing the fears encountered on the path to success and why focusing on them is not productive.
