Someone with tactical knowledge. The most important thing in managing is to be able to control the egos and make the team play as a 'team' as opposed to be beckham, ronaldinho or henry's team.\nUnfortunately, the ones able to do such a thing out there these days are few, and I would name Scolari, Parreira and Mourinho, for example.\nBut for my national team, if I didnt have Parreira already, I'd pick Scolari.

First, think of yourself in terms of the current phrase for those who work that way ... adminstrative assistant\n\nYou assist in the administration of the activity of that business. You are another set of eyes, ears and hands for that person. Therefore, you are a logical extension of how your supervisors see the business working.\n\nTry to help the business you work for grow and succeed, while helping the persons you answer to achieve their goals.

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.

Motivation and morale works hand in hand. The most important thing is to provide adequate leadership. Leadership is the ability to motivate not manage although some managers are great leaders. Employees work under two different sets of criteria,  the threat and the reward. The threat is when an employee feels that they have to do a job to maintain thier position. In this type of environment an employee will only do what is required of them and no more. A Reward type of management encourages motivation and the employee is more likely to go above and beyond. Motivation also helps deter resignation and termination which both could be very costly for any business. Motivation also inspire creativity in the employee

A manager can show respect to his or her employees by allowing them to determine the best way to to their jobs.\n\nThe best manager I ever had said to me, "What can I do to help you accomplish your tasks more easily?  Is there anything I can do to facilitate your job?  If so, let me know."\n\nHe then would leave me alone to get my work done.  He gave me goals and a time to get them accomplished, but didn't micromanage every detail - he let me work out the best way to reach my goals and was available if I needed him to, say, talk to someone in another department to get input or a resource.  I was very empowered in my position and the respect went both ways.

No.  An effective manager will provide positive and negative feedback.  However, the negative feedback should be constructive, not just "You suck at x, y, and z."  Employees need to know what is good and what is bad regarding their work.  If they never heard the negative side, they would never know what needs improving.

Success rates vary with individuals, not with the corporation, and it is all in the leadership STYLE.  You have to learn to achieve results through INFLUENCE rather than by having direct power over subordinates.  That's difficult for newer/less skilled professionals to do, because managing by influence means earning people's respect and harnessing their natural motivation, and not really managing at all.  If you walk into someone else's shop barking orders, what do you think will happen?  If, on the other hand, you pitch in as one of the team to help them accomplish their goals, you will create a totally different perception and will earn their cooperation in return.  \n\nYes, it works.  I was able to get regional/branch people to help me with a big corporate project once because the month earlier, I had gotten on a plane to go pull an all-nighter with them on a big systems conversion.  They said "you were the only one from corporate who was really WITH us all the way!"\n\nRead any of Warren Bennis's works on leadership, and he will explain the concept.  I was very lucky to participate in Professor Bennis's Leadership Seminar in the MBA program at Southern Cal.
