Follow the basic of Management Concept (POLC)\n\nP - Planning\nThis is where you plan your roadmap, where is your company leading to? how can you improve your products or services?\n\nO - Organize\nThis is where you should execute the activities that have been planned, don't delay anything unless you have to. keep this in mind, "Strike the hammer while the iron is hot.", if theres things to be done, do it while the heat is on. dont do it when the subject gone stale.\n\nL - Lead\nBe a role model, to yourself and others. create certain boundaries in the office. be strict to your subordinates, when theres a job to be done, finish it.\n\nC - Control\nMake sure your resources are sufficient and accurate, do not have surplus or shortage of resources.\n\nI hope this answer is ok =)

A great manager must "walk his/her talk". He/She must be compassionate, yet able to "detach" from emotions when necessary-typically when having to deal with a negative situation. Must be a good listener. And not just LISTENING but actually HEARING what one is saying. A manager must be "teachable" himself, not thinking that as he/she is the manager, they know all. A positive attitude is a must. The ability to let go-delegate, not control. A great manager must be flexible, knowing he/she is dealing with people - not positions - and that each person requires a different type of management "style"

That's a big topic but here are some thoughts to consider. \n\n- Have specific goals and standards for employees. Much easier to evaluate and they will perform better, too. Most people want to do well. If they know what is expected, it's easier for them to do what you want.\n\n- Give specific feedback and EXAMPLES along with judgements. E.g.: "Communication skills with other departments need improvement" would be so much better is you also said, "Examples: In August, Stella reported that Tom had asked for an attendance report but later, we learned that he really needed the report listed for the R&D group only." \n\nThe more specifics you use, the better. To do this, you need notes! Which brings me to:\n\n- Keep notes all year. You want to note positive and negative instances over the long term.\n\n- Give feedback constantly. Don't wait until annual review time. If an employee is ever surprised by something in a review, it is almost always indicative of a manager's problem!

Whatever the job remember:\n\nTeam-work\nIntuitive\nReliable\nWilling to work until the job is done\nFlexible\n\n& Leadership Qualities (if applicable)\n\nYou will however need examples where you have shown these qualities. And be able to describe them clearly.\n\nAlso you'll need to be able to relax, have a laugh and be socialable. That's pretty important these days.

1.  make a list of all your skills\n     a. by skills I mean skills that would apply regardless   \n         of company field.\n2.  with each skill write a short paragraph explaining this  \n     skill. explain your duties regarding this skill.\n3.  shop yourself-based on what you say I assume you are supposed to be a lower to mid level manager-meaning directly over workers and not over another manager/supervisor.\n\nthis is oneof the hardest positions to hire into.  this is, usually, a position which is filled by promotion from within.  again, usually, the only way to be hired into this position is a lateral move-by this I mean to a company that does/makes/sells etc. essentially the same product as your present company.\nnext, think of what your boss will say about you/your work.I realize that they can not say anything other than dates of employment, but a lot can be said without saying much. "would you hire this person again?/"not in a million years" or "I  don't think I would" etc.  be prepared and have answers-your biggest hurdle in this case is to get the interview.  If it benefits you enclude your work record.\n\nfeel around-check the water. if there's a market for your skills THEN you have two options\n1. go somewhere else\n2. go to your management and present WRITTEN!!!!!\nwhat you've worked up.  state you really love YOUR company, but you feel you're not being utilized to the extent you are capable of.  "I would much rather stay here, but I would need ??? (think this over-what do you want?\nLet them/him/her chew on this for a while.  PUT A TIME LIMIT. say "I would like to make a decision by ? no more than a week-I have two(?) companies interested in hireing me at the (whatever you stipulated above)\n\nNOW THE STICK!!!  if you do this be prepared to have the boss tell you to go ahead and go.  that's why you do your homework beforehand-if there are no companies out there who want you (in a position you want) then you change this around and approach management with the skills stuff (technical term) you worked up and say "I think I have earned a promotion/raise and this is the reason.  don't throw it in his/her face that you do more than ?? and they are ?? if he/she has anything on the ball at all then they know all this.  this letter tells the boss you are not happy with what you are paid for what you do.  they will either tell you "sorry there is no way I can do??? at this time-this will mean, usually-unless the comapany is in trouble, that they think much less of you/your skills than you do. suck it up and live with it-without promotions (probably ever-they've learned you'll back down) on move on.\nI noticed you're a woman-the boss may have a prejudice against women-men NEED to earn more, etc. if dat's de case then you'll have to move on-your work is fine-that's just all a woman is worth in that job.

I think it depends on what type of manager.  I'm in middle management and feel like I'm basically a glorified babysitter.  I have to make sure my staff is doing their jobs, getting results in a timely manner.  I have to reprimand them when they do wrong and give them kudos when they do good.

Well i don't know you, but when asked what do I see in my future, I'd say "your Job" to whoever was asking.\nAsk your friends these very questions, like ask her/him "what do you think makes me a good manager?" They can come up with the best answer for you.

I agree. If you are doing a good job then you need to speak up. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Managers have a lot of things to do. If you work hard and are not being recognized you need to make yourself known to them. I have had multiple management positions and for all of them I just walked up and asked my manager what I needed to do to get a promotion. Many managers enjoy straight people who just go up to them and are bold and confident.

I've been there. It can get pretty complicated and feelings can get confused. let your friends know that as a manager your first obligation is to the company. Let them know that you value their friendship but dont want your friendship to hinder your performance at work. Usually most "good" friends can respect that if not then thats a whole other ball game.

Learn about project managment. It helps with all of the other parts of IT i.e. Business analysis, process mapping etc. It will also help you move in to management if you so wish. Wish I had learned about it sooner. Good luck.

<>YOu will need to sit down and establish the type of relationaship you want to have with her early on...first thing, in fact.  You need to explain to her what you require of her, and how you will be rating her performance.  If you want it to be strictly professional, you will have to state that.  You are a manager now....exert your authority.  But remember, managers are made or broken by their subordinates.

Before you get too tied up in the pure academics of management keep in mid that the best manager are leaders.  They inspire loyalty, motivate people and provide rewards out side of money.\n\nMy only reference is managing/leading people for 25 years while also having  BS, MA and MBA degrees.\n\nYou might think about interviewing or just talking to people you feel are leaders in your school, work, community, etc.
