How do you obtain managerial skills?

Question

After a meeting I had with my boss, he asked to look at things from a Managerial point of view instead of a clerical point of view. What is the difference between the two? How can change your way of thinking?

Answer 1

well i do not know what you are saying or asking but

Answer 2

How to manage people rather than how to do work (paper work) see strengths and weakness in the people that work for you and how and what you can do to make them better

Answer 3

look at the economical way

what do you need to do to win more money

what expenses you shoudl reduce

what people you dont need in your enterprise that you can fire,

not in the sense of, it´s a pitty to fire him because he is a nice guy, but

in the sense, let´s fire him because he is not necessaire so we can increase our incomes,

thats what i think, maybe im wrong

Cheers

Answer 6

it was probably a nice way of telling you to grow up or he wants to prepare you to be a manager. Looking at something in a managerial way I think would be going above and beyond your job description and looking at what you say and do in the context of how it effects the company.
