Comments on: Do job titles matter any more? http://thewayoftheweb.net/2008/09/do-job-titles-matter-any-more/ Social media marketing, digital publishing, PR, communities and engagement Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:37:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Joeski http://thewayoftheweb.net/2008/09/do-job-titles-matter-any-more/comment-page-1/#comment-2587 Joeski Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:05:15 +0000 http://thewayoftheweb.net/?p=399#comment-2587 Interesting topic...I would say perception to strangers and organisation of resource within companies is where a real job title has kudos - to these elements job title is important, to the everyday operational grind I do not think they are important. Just get the job done ASAP. Output and responsibility are important per person, per department, ultimately the buck stops short at someones feet, usually a director or manager of some sort, these definitions hearld meaning in different ways to different people, but believe me I've met enough directors and managers to know that there is no one single level of intellectual continum amongst them to set them apart in a hierarchy of knowledge/knows best/more/better...some are better than others...the manager can make better decisons than the director, can be smarter, more informed, but the responsibility lies with the director.
