In order to be an effective manager, you need to be a good leader.  In my opinion, the words manager and leader are synonymous in the business world.  Managers (leaders) must have a thorough knowledge of the job, organize and motivate subordinates to pursue a common goal, direct for the future, etc.  But one of the most important characteristics is role modeling.  Leaders must be a good role model for their followers (i.e. managers must be a good role model for their subordinates)--if they want their followers to act a certain way, they must project that image for them.

- You build your capacity.\n- To build your managerial capacity you have to get experience from the typical working environment.\n- Certifications are only meant for an additional reference.\n- Dont forget certifications are only added qualifications but not consider it as a required qualification.\n- The RESULT what you are going to contribute to the company is the practical experience.\n- Keep it in mind and please work towards that.\n- All the best.\n-------------

well,  it depends if they were close to me or not.  being a leader is something that i do in a job.  i try to be fair with friends and family. and I'm always open for suggestions, from co-workers and friends.  so if asked, i would just be more polite about my bossiness

Be able to multi task, good attitude, patients, be able to work fast and under pressure. People think that it is easy to be a sales manager, but it isn't. In any management position you have to be able to delegate tasks. And be able to talk to people.

I'd say to lead is to take an active role, to direct others, and to make the decisions in a society.\n\nTo manage is more focussed on directing others, working with instead of over...etc.\n\nAs if you asked this question, lol.

Here is some great advice for developing leadership qualities: \n\n1. READ - carry some great reading material in your briefcase. Great books to read that will develop your leadership qualities:  "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Andrew Carnegie\n                       "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey\n\n2. Become a Master of Change\nPeter Drucker (as quoted in the Selling Power article) says, “Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.” \n\n3. Earn the Trust of Others\n\n4. Give Feedback\nThrough our support and our voice, others will be able to make necessary changes.\n\n\n5. Build Enthusiasm\n\n6. Get Involved\n\n7. Pursue professional development\n\n\n\nSo, in a nutshell:\n\n1. Read\n2. Change\n3. Earn the trust of others (work from the private life to the public life) (from Steven Covey's: "7 Habits of Highly Effective People")\n4. Give feedback\n5. Show enthusiasm\n6. Get involved\n7.

1) Strong communication skills. Both written and verbal. Look for opportunities to do speaking in front of a group. The quiet ones stay in the corner. Readers are leaders, so get your nose into some development books.\n\n2) Dedication. Do whatever it takes to get the job done. Whatever amount of hours. Give all of yourself to the job. Don't just have the attitude of I'm working my 8 hours and I'm gone.\n\n3) Be a team player. You can't succeed by yourself. Help others on your team be successful. "You can have anything in life you want if you help enough other people get, what they want" -quote from Zig Ziglar.\n\n4) Treat others with respect. Remember the names of people you just met. Take a genuine interest in them. Read How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie and practice what is in there.\n\n5) Be someone that other people want to be around. Make your work environment as fun as it can be.

Management never produces better performance. Managers are usually the biggest part of any problem in a corporate setting.

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"

People are like a string.  If you push one end it just bunches but if you pull one end it will follow.  \n\nFulfill the needs of your bosses insecurity and then you will be able to lead him your way. \n\nFor example:  If he has a quench for power let him know in a subtle way he is in control.  Ask for his advice or mentoring then you will be able to insert your ideas along the way.

Good managers create a team of which they are more a member than a leader, if your subordinates are made to feel like participants in the team rather than just workers under a boss they will desire to work harder and help more.\nI suggest a few things:\n1) Ask rather than demand help.\n2) Explain the assisgnment of the team and ask advice on how to get them done best -Even if you head up a cleaning crew, I bet your team can come up with ways to get the job done faster, better, cheaper...etc\n3) Be the hardest worker on the team - people respect a boss who actually works.\n4) Listen to your people, even if you cannot take their suggestions, listen and then explain why.\n5) Be fair, work hard to be impartial... have no favorites.\n6) Give alot of feedback, look for every opportunity to give praise.\n7) Be willing to "fire" a bad apple, the rest of the team will appreciate it.\n8) Gain trust by being trustworthy.. be a person who keeps your word, is always honest, and never gossips.\n9) Small rewards - A can of coke or box of donuts for everyone one day out of your own pocket will pay big dividends.\n10) Middle management is the hardest, explain your bosses expectation to your workers, so they can work with you rather than against you.\n11) Remember they are just people too - having good and bad days just trying to make a living. Treat them as such.\n\nBest of everything with your co-workers.

There are many ways to get to a manager position.  Some get there by deliberate action, others by pure accident or luck.\n\nIf you belong to an organization and want to move up, find out what are the expected competencies of a manager.  There may be formal documents stating these required competencies or skills.  If nothing is formally written, observe what are common qualities of the current managers or simply ask your boss, a senior manager or human resources about what is expected to get to a managerial position.  What developmental opportunities are present to be able to sharpen those skills? \n\nThen draw up a development plan that will help you get the position.  Realistically though, even if you are ready to assume the position, if there's no vacancy at the top, you may have to wait a little longer.  There are very few positions at the top.  You've got to be exceptional to get ahead of the rest.\n\nOf course, some will say the easiest (?) way to go up without all the extra trouble is to simply be the kind of person that will stand out because you not only meet your goals but exceed them, consistently!  Couple this with great people skills and you should be at the top of management's list of next to be promoted people.

I chose management because I like people.  To me, working with people, motivating them, and being a leader is very rewarding.
