  • Personally, I am a fan of letting the power go to my head and the iron fist
  • good management skills: * good in planning * strategic thinker * good in managing people * technical and logical thinker * analytical * can accept failure and use it for future plans * not afraid of using punishment
  • Blaming someone else for your mistakes!
  • The key thing is balancing getting sh*t done with not annoying your subordinates. Study the Hawthorne Effect and counterbalance that with the fact that it's hard to discipline your "friends". On a related note, don't ever get TOO close to your subordinates. I was friends with my peers but once I got promoted and wound up as the assistant supervisor, they wouldn't take me seriously. The newer underlings who came in after my promotion respected my authority though. Know their job! At least know enough about it and how it affects the company to keep your subordinates from thinking you're a moron. The best bosses I ever had worked their way up. The GM of my current company can do every job in the company except mine (CNC machinist) so he has credibility. He can also empathize well enough to not ask for anything unreasonable from any department; he knows better.
