A
The need for good managers is not going away. It is intensifying. With "flatter" organizations and self-directed teams becoming common; with personal computers and networks making information available to more people more quickly; the raw number of managers needed is decreasing. However, the need for good managers, people who can manage themselves and Others in a high-stress environment, is increasing.
B
I believe anyone can be a good manager. It is as much trainable skill as it is inherent ability; as much science as art. You have confidence in yourself and your abilities. You are happy with who you are, but you are still learning and getting better. You are something of an extrovert. You don't have to be the life of the party, hut you can't be a wallflower. Management is a people skill--it's not the job for someone who doesn't enjoy people.
C
You are honest and straightforward. Your success depends heavily on the trust of others. You are an includer not an excluder. You bring others into what you do. You don't exclude other because they lack certain attributes. You have a presence. Managers must lead. Effective leaders have a quality about them that makes people notice when they enter a room.
D
You are consistent, but not rigid; dependable, but can change your mind. You make decisions, but easily accept input from others. You are a little bit crazy. You think out-of-the box. You try new things and if they fail, you admit the mistake, but don't apologize for having tried. You are not afraid to "do the math". You make plans and schedules and work toward them.
