Management is not an easy task. Some people are given management positions without prior experience. Some have educational qualifications that would suit the position. Some just have the right attitude, while others are great at thinking on their feet.
A lot of us like to say that we want to be behind the scenes. However, we are the same ones who turn around and complain about being passed over. You have to make a decision. The behind the scenes person could be 'forgotten' when it's time for a promotion.
We like to decline challenges and tasks and I think that many of us regret it after. Each person is not management material and in today's economy, you have to be a critical thinker. I have discussed this with family and teachers and many people lack critical thinking skills. You have to be able to solve problems and make things work. A good manager puts his resources to good use.
So where do you stand? What can you do to improve your marketability in the workplace? Don't sit and wait for anyone to promote you. Look for opportunities to grow!
