"Manager": the meaning of the word and examples of use

Today the "manager" got into the area of our special attention. The meaning of the word will be interesting to establish. No one will argue that it has become too many-valued lately. And they want to reward everyone with this high rank. We will deal with the problem in detail.

Value

Without a dictionary, as always, we can not find the truth. Let us turn to him and find out what meanings he proposes to confer the meaning of the word "manager".

1. Managing firm.
2. The middle management.
3. The head of affairs of an athlete or an artist.
4. Different programs. For example, the download manager. This is a direct tracing paper from English, because to manage is to "manage, guide." Therefore, there is no special meaning here.
5. Football coach. For example, Mourinho.

The foreign definition of "manager" (the meaning of the word in the process of research) does not imply any one meaning, it is multifaceted. But the most interesting will be when we deal with the official part and infiltrate into the depth of content. In the meantime, synonyms for the word "manager".

Word-replacements

The manager, as some think, sounds insolent, so he must be called known as to make it more chic. As the reader has probably already realized, there is no difference. The main thing in the work is what a person does, and not how his post is called. Let's give the reader the long-awaited synonyms:

• manager;
• Leader;
• trainer;
• impresario;
• agent.

English is good because it is short: words and expressions suggest a huge amount of interpretation. For example, if we take the concept of "manager" (the meaning of the word is already established), then it is saturated with different content, depending on the context, and can easily replace any of its synonyms. This is good and bad. Well, because you do not need to keep many words in your head, one is enough, but it's bad because such universalism greatly impoverishes the language and misleads the person who perceives information.

Devaluation of meaning

It is clear that these disputes are old as the world. But all the same, the fact of distorting the meaning must be said. The Russian people have one specific feature: any new trend, idea or trend, it turns into a banner. In all the national character is guilty, which does not accept any compromises. We can either fight for mokrostupy, not regretting his stomach, or speak English even better than in Russian. The idea of a measure is completely alien to us. At least, so it turns out, if we investigate the definition of a "manager".

MN Zadornov a long time ago collected such nonsense and blunders. He gave an example of how an ordinary cleaner was called a cleaning manager. It's hard to say whether the humorist understood correctly, but if so, this is an example of linguistic illiteracy and absurdity at the same time.

And here it is appropriate to recall the meaning of the word "manager" for the explanatory dictionary SI Ozhegov, N. Yu. Shvedova: "Specialist in production management, enterprise work". Thus, anything that does not fit into this definition has nothing to do with leadership, and therefore management. You can not call the managers of cleaners, sellers, ordinary employees of the firm. We hope this is understandable.

By the way, the reader is very fortunate, for, according to some sources, the lexical meaning of the word "manager" is that given in the explanatory dictionary. Absolutely without waiting, we killed two birds with one stone.

"Manager is the best profession in the world"

The very word is already almost allergic, because people who call themselves that way, are still quite a lot. In the people even a distorted-ironical definition of the profession - the "manager" was born. Usually they call themselves those who perfectly understand that they are not managers.

Of course, the ever-present critic of Russian reality and the cynic Sergei Shnurov contributed to the cauldron of hatred. In the eponymous song from the album "For millions" (2003), a non-representative portrait of a man who works exclusively for the sake of money is given to him, he is eager to realize, realize the American dream, but whatever he does, he is infinitely far from it. The composition declares that the manager "is not like everyone else" is, of course, a mockery.

The main thing is that now, when the topic of work in the office has already bothered many by many, managers and other employees of the company need more sympathy than irony and sarcasm. Perhaps it is time to change something in relation to the inconspicuous workers of commercial organizations. The first step is thinking over the notion of "manager", the meaning of the word we have already disassembled.
