Finance Superintendent (Managerial level) ITC (Tobacco division). Phone No. 98305 75478 Appointed on 21.06.2008. I started the interview with Mr. Banerjee by knowing from him that he is a middle level manager who is happy and satisfied with hi performance so far. The work he is doing includes, i) Credit Controlling, ii) Payable Handling, iii) Supervision of Work, iv) Approving of Vouchers and controlling other areas. As he is Finance department the works done by him is mainly accounts and fund related. Credit controlling and approving vouchers are very important and tough to handle, because these two needs very nit and conscious analysis. For executing this entire works Mr. Banerjee follows certain systems, among which the most important two are Six Sigma and maintaining Dash Board. Six Sigma, which was developed by Motorola corp. in 1988, is basically, a process quality goal. As such it falls into the category of a process capability technique. Dash Board is nothing but performance evaluation of the subordinates throughout a particular period of time. It is an overview of the work done for a project in due time. When I asked Mr. Banerjee about the kind of skills he requires, he divided the skill factor in two categories. First is Conceptual Skills which includes i) Planning ii) Controlling iii) Organizing iv) Leading etc. These are the basic skills which every manager should have. The second one is Technical Skills which are particularly required in his post are, i) Fluency in English, ii) Adequate Knowledge about the Market, iii) Knowledge of SAP ( System Application & Products) and iv) Very good Knowledge on Microsoft XL. According to him there is a massive change in the managers of today with the managers of 5 to 6 years back from now. He stated that past managers has more detailed knowledge and experience about the different fields then those of today. Their conceptual knowledge has more depth. But as the work flow has changed heavily, today’s managers are more advance and well equipped. In the past managers had to go through all the levels to reach the top slots. But now a day’s short cut are available. If you have the right degree for the right job then the top slots are available for you. He stated that there are two groups of subordinates. First is Union staffs, who are mainly into clerical and production units. The other one is Nonunion staffs. To maintain a good relationship with them a friendly atmosphere is must and also constant communication to be maintained. I asked him about any crisis he faced and how to cope with those situations. In reply he told that once there was an inadequacy of labour to complete a project. The project required some specialized labour to execute. But due to the non availability Mr. Banerjee and his boss had to manage by completing the work by other labour. This is a good example of resource management. According to him the main conflict areas are in the root of management and the solutions should be as simple as possible. For example to solve any problem of (petty cash system) maintain a Fund Management System. If there is any flaw in planning then solve it by implementing the correction it to all unites of the company. Mr. Banerjee told that to be a good manager you need to be a good learner of your surroundings and should consider every detail very carefully. You need to be loyal towards your company and work. The most important thing for you is to maintain secrecy. At the end he confessed that he is a proud man for what he had achieved and to him the best part of the job is, he is an approving authority.
