I just started working as a Program Director this year :) I thought it was going to be a very difficult and demanding job but I thought wrong it's actually very easy, I adapted to my current duties quickly which isn't much at all compare to my managerial and coordinator positions, the only difference to my job now is that I direct managers/supervisors and coordinators to ensure their program deliveries are at the highest standards and performance, I also look after their expenses and budgets, more controlling power, and reports.. I also work with the Controller and CAO to make sure all of our reports are on time, quality, and correct for our Board, funders, and other stakeholders.
Another thing is that I have more meetings and conference calls compared to my old jobs, I think being a Manager and Coordinator is more demanding and stressful than being a Director, unless that I just have a great team that I look after and they make my work life easy as a Director lol..

Thank you for explaining the duties of a Manager. Can you make a similar video regarding duties and responsibilities of Directors particularly how they should drive the strategy of meeting the goals of the Company.

In theory a Director manages managers. In reality you have a Director title while doing the job of three managers to “save money”

[tanjiannan]

Hi man, great content. A bit of more details on the executive portion of the director's responsibilities would be more meaty.

[crystalhuo]

Very well explained! Succinct and easy to understand. I’ve followed a few job coaches on YouTube. You are so far my favourite. You give informative, and more importantly, realistic advice.

[ryanhass]

Your videos are very helpful, thanks for putting these out, sir!

In my organization, if you get promoted from manager, you become a director, and after a further promotion, you become a managing director.

[adamyusuphkapompo]

Sir, I'm learning alot from you. Thank you soo much. Much love from Tanzania, Africa ❤

[mmmmmray]

Just found you and love this content. Hoping to see you interview some of your best previous directors and managers!

[deweywsu]

Great content! Very informative, as all your videos are. I appreciate that you get right into the content too, rather than taking a detour, even quickly, to an opening logo/title animation.

[impamiizgraa]

Excellent stab at making a simple, understandable one-size-fits-most clarification on this, thank you. I'm about to go from Project manager to Assoc. Director but never managed anyone and nobody to manage in my new role, which is great for me! I am not really sure how much more responsibility I will have - I'll come back and confirm in a few years, if anyone cares!

[dumisaniluthuli]

You have made it very easy to understand. thank you

[mario]

Great video Sir this makes a lot of sense.

I think the director lever is more strategic comparing to manager level. It involves more broad view of the organization, normally people at director lever are more focus on development and connection.
my 5 cent opnion.
Thanks

Crystal sir... I remember my college year... My professor used to discuss mgt. This

[davidfisher]

Good description! Here in the UK it unusual to have Directors as per the first definition - a director is (of course there are exceptions) on the board and registered as a director with Companies House, the government department that monitors corporations. They tend to be divided into Executive and Non-Exec Directors, with the former having a portfolio (a department which comes with legal responsibility) and the Non-Exec's (sleeping Directors) being without department and there only for oversight (usually nosy investors).
I had an American friend who got quite exasperated trying to explain that a Director could be either senior or junior to a president etc. We kept her going for hours....

[RoniMugaki]

Great content, great explanation! Keep it up...

[shaneroberts]

In corp finance I've seen:
Avp=team lead
Vp=team manager
Svp=manager of multiple teams and leads.
Director=manager of multiple teams and managers.
Managing director=manager of groups of teams and directors.

Oddly within same finance in customer facing roles the Avp and Vp are often higher than director.

Is very inconsistent.

It also depends on the size of the org. Director in a small org can the equivalent of a a 1st or 2nd level manager in a larger org. Another way to look at it is: if you're running the day to day, KTLO, tactical tasks of a team, you're probably a manager. If you're running multiple teams or a department at a more strategic level, or have P&L responsabilities, you're mostly likely performing director level . :)
