Absolutely.
I'm currently a shift manager at a restaurant. It's a casual restaurant, but its still a lot of work. I have to pay attention to absolutely every single thing going on, and I have to remain sane while doing so. I have to keep in mind virtually everything. The guests, drink levels in the machines, the tables, what employees are doing, what food is being cooked, if guests have complaints, if servers need swipes, any problems that arise internally, food available, food being ordered, food being sent out, things being correct, things being clean, and so on and so forth.
I'm in third ranking where I work. There's a general manager above me, and an assistant general manager below her, and then there I am with the other shift managers (two) right underneath them. But I have the same responsibility as the general manager and the assistant general manager, and I have shifts to run by myself. In fact, today was my first shift that I ran by myself for more than two hours. Since I had from 3:00 until 9:00 when no one was there with me. So everything fed to me. And I loved it. It was intimidating at first, since it was such a long time and it was my first dinner service on my own, but it was awesome.
I think I do a good job managing people, and I'm getting the hang of it more and more as time goes on and my experience grows and develops. I'm learning what works for me and what makes me comfortable, and I'm stepping out of my old position and into my new leadership position. There are shortcuts I did while in my old position that don't work for me now, since I have to set an example, and things I have to keep in mind while up front that are more prominent if I do them compared to when I was wearing a different shirt doing them. And that part is stressful.
But I'm really good at keeping my cool and appearing like everything is running smoothly and keeping calm and whatnot. At least I think I am, anyway. My face may look noticeably different to people who know me, and I might close in more, but I also do that when I am focusing, and I do that a lot at my job.
I make a lot of changes. I make a lot of internal suggestions with the other managers. I have opinions that I share with people. I have recommendations. I have feedback, and so on and so forth. I try to keep morale up. I try not to be a hard ass. I try to let people do their thing and I try not to step into those situations unless I have to.
I'm still new to this position, but I am growing more every time I have to deal with things I am not comfortable with. When outside people come in, I deal with them so they can fix issues I'm having within the store. When I need to get help from outside, I know how to do it. I am slowly becoming someone people go to when they have questions or problems, and I relay that to the appropriate people and vouch for them on their behalf to them as well. I am considerate, and since I'm still new to the role, I lead by example in doing things that other managers don't seem to take the time to do themselves, and I think it encourages others to do the same and not be bothered by doing menial tasks, because I do them as well.
