"Assistant managers are the lifeblood of any organization. Although a fantastic general manager may be in place, he should be focused on larger issues -- such as business planning -- as opposed to daily operational matters. The best assistant managers are coaches, leaders and mentors to their subordinates. At the same time, the smart general manager uses her quality assistant for advice and support, delegating to him the latitude required to succeed with everyday business."
