The Delegator  

Although it’s important to be aware of everything that’s going on, don’t do everything yourself, remember as manager it’s now your job to get more done than you can do yourself.

As long as you know what needs to be done, you can delegate the work to the best person and your store will still run efficiently.

Stay calm in a crisis and leave the excitement to your staff; remember if anything goes wrong the staff will look to you to lead the way. 

As a manager, you are  responsible for the whole team. You are the voice of reasoning for the group when dealing with company-wide issues. If your team let you down, you have to take it on the chin, but equally if they do well, you can be credited with the success – and that is the most rewarding part of the job.
