Management
Managerial skills are important in developing a culture of a company and defining goals according to it (Saeed et al., 2014). A manager in any organization always tend to acquire certain attributes which help in achieving productivity (Saeed et al., 2014). Looking into an example of a positive manager from a TV series, best example can be found from “Suits”, which is based on a company named “Pearson Spector Litt”, which is a law firm dealing for clients with their advocacy matters. There are two major roles in the show named as “Harvey Spector” and “Mike Ross”. At the start of the show, Harvey is shown as a senior employee who is known as the best closer in New York. By the time, he is the managing partner of the firm, having is last name entitled in to the company’s name. Mike Ross, which is shown as drug addict at the start, who sells weed for his living, attends an interview with Harvey for the position of junior asossiate. Apart from his background, Harvey finds him very intelligent and sharp, and selects him for the position.
The discussion here is about the managerial roles played by Harvey and Mike. The nature of their role is about creating potential clients in New York, and defending them for any legal cause in court of law. However, it is found that Harvey is observed as an effective leader who rarely losses any law case, and is also a role model for his subordinates. He is also promoted to a managing partner for the company because of his managerial skills, which helped the company a lot. Despite Mike’s background, Harvey finds him skilled in the law area where he has an extraordinary memory of referring things, which also inspired Harvey. That’s why he selects him, which shows that Harvey was focusing on a unique talent which can help him and the firm, produce positive outcomes. It makes both the characters effective for others, as both worked together and dominated the competitors as well with their managerial skills.
