Word for being in charge - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

«Samsung dispatched employees and executives who are in charge of the project to Japan.» Obviously, employees are not the one in charge. It means they are ‘involved’ in the project.

There are always working-level people who actually handle tasks at the front end where they meet with clients. And there is someone who is ‘in charge’. In my language, this expression is always used for both of them. For example, at a service center, the one who actually meet with a customer and the one fixes his/her cell phone and even their manager, are all called ‘in charge’. But in the English language, someone in charge is always the decision maker, not the rank and file employees. How do you call them who are at the front end or near there?

A person who’s job is meeting with customers might be called a «customer service» employee/representative. They make some decisions.

A person whose job is fixing electronic devices might be called a «technician».

A person whose job is supervising other employees is called a «manager».

But in the English language, someone in charge is always the decision maker, not the rank and file employees.

That statement is misleading. Nobody can make all the decisions except the company President/CEO. Everyone below the CEO can make some decisions, while other decisions are made «above them» or «below them» by others.

Usually «in charge of» means «responsible for». If I am in charge of a project, I run that project. I tell people (who are on the project) what to do. But I don’t make all the decisions. For example: the project needs more money or more people. My job is to explain that problem to my boss and request the money. I cannot make the decision «the company will spend more moneyu».

Nagomi—Your post seems to relate to the term ‘in charge,’ which you contrast with ‘front end’. An odd contrast.

But also you give no context; for example, those at the ‘front end’ (your term) in the army are called the foot soldiers, and the term is also used metaphorically for the minions who actually work.

One needs more explanation as to what you want.

Let me re-phrase my question. How do you indicate the person who a customer needs to talk about a certain task? In my language, we say ‘a person responsible/in charge’, but ‘in charge’ or ‘responsible’ don’t seem to very fit from the way I see it. Because those two terms seem too big. This employee have not either caused or have the ability to make a decision, but he’s just a working-level officer who meets the customers and hear from them, and guide them through the procedures for them to get what they need.

A: I’ve got my phone broken. Who do I need to talk to?
B: Let me give you [ ]’s number.

What would be an appropriate pronoun that can suit in the blanket?

In BE, I would probably say «the supervisor».

I think nagomi means the person who can diagnose/repair the phone.

A: I’ve got my phone broken. Who do I need to talk to?
B: Let me give you [ ]’s number.

In the US, each store has its own title. There is no standard word.
In this example, the <title> is named «Susan». So B might reply:

B: Susan handles that.
B: Susan works with problems like that.
B: Susan does that.
B: Our <title> does that.
B: You need to speak with our <title>.
B: Susan diagnoses phone problem.

When you contact organization units like a department, an agency, etc., there is usually a main person whom you should contact. He/she is also the main responsible person for critical problems. Should we call him/her person in charge? Is there a simple word for that?

And, is following right?

Who is the person in charge of this department?

To contact the person in charge of that department, dial 234 567.

Do you know that department’s person in charge?

P.S. The problem behind: It’s used in a data table, a column «PersonInCharge» seems too complicated, though. And, the manager or the supervisor may be someone else, so I’m not likely to use them as well.

In the context of a department or realm of work, I would use manager, as in:

Is the manager of this department in today?

In the context of an individual I would probably use supervisor, although manager would work as well:

May I speak with your supervisor please?

If you are talking about a specific task rather than a department, you might use the phrase in charge like this:

Who is in charge of restocking the snack cupboard?

Lastly the verb head up can also be useful in contexts of projects or teams:

Who is heading up the backup team?
Who is heading up the security audit?

In earlier times you would use the word Manager

Can I speak to the manager?

Nowadays with so many titles and since you do not know the specific one that applies in that area (eg: Administrator, Supervisor, Boss etc) , it is getting popular to use «person in charge» as in the examples you have used.

I can think of two simple words: head and leader.

Examples:

Who is the head [of the department] here?

Do you know the department’s leader?

I would use superior.

Can I speak to your superior?

It can work for anyone who is above someone else, even if it’s not a managerial position.

The details of your question convey that you are looking for something specific, since you did not approve of manager or supervisor.

You said:

«person whom you should contact….»

«also the main responsible person for critical problems….»

This means that you are not talking about the person in authority, you are talking about a [Contact] or [EmergencyContact]

answered Jul 1, 2011 at 21:56

The main person you should contact is possibly just the contact, or could be the liaison. Could also just be the boss.

If you go to a Francophone country and ask for the chef or a Spanish-speaking country and ask for el jefe, the chief of the business or restaurant will respond (one would hope without a cleaver).

When I lived in French-speaking West Africa, I would address any gendarme as chef. He would usually crack a smile, as I had also planted the notion that I was not a tourist. It took a year of speaking French before I realized that the chef in a restaurant was the chief of the restaurant, and that chief had a broad applicability.

As I was building a house, I would visit every day during construction. The phrase that I learned to request the foreman was el jefe. Here is the same word in Spanish.

If you asked for the chief you would probably get the right person, although in the English-speaking world this might sound out-of-place. If you asked for the chef, you would probably get the right person in a restaurant, but a puzzled look if the hearer were not a fan of Hell’s Kitchen.

Your question contains a good answer, in my view. «Responsible» fits the bill perfectly.

Who is responsible for this department?

Who is responsible for bug reports?

Who is responsible for fixing burst pipes?

«Responsible» doesn’t necessarily imply «in charge» or «superior», even though it will often be the same thing.

I think your column name could just be «Responsible», or «ResponsibleUser» or whatever fits your naming structure.

Team Leader is another term that I hear used more often. You could always plump for good ol’ «gaffer» if it comes down to it.

answered Jul 1, 2011 at 14:15

Manager is perfectly suitable as someone who is responsible for running the shots. Line manager can be used to denote the next hierarchical step.

The issue you are encountering is that different organisations like to use different words, in some fields other words are more standard. It does not detract from the fact that a supervisor is indeed a manager. The word just focuses on a different aspect of the individual’s responsibility.

If you want my advice, call it whatever you call it within your organisation. This is just a database field name, no one has to see it apart from the developers, heck, you could build in aliases with multiple names if you want people to run direct queries against it.

I like the word Commander. It’s just so epic.
