[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 370733, member: 11315"] I agree with this statement. A great manager can balance it both ways to be effective. I've seen many that have mastered this, but also I've seen a few that are more one way and end up losing because of their faults. I was liked and respected from both sides but didn't feel joining the full-time ranks would work out with me. First, you are encouraged to get a degree in business management or some type of secondary schooling. Not having a degree I feel will stop you at a certain point up the corporate ladder (98% of the time, with exceptions) With the hours you put in FT, it is extremly difficult to get this without earning credits while you were a PT sup. Operation managers tend to work 10-12 hours a day, so having most of your schooling done before is critical. It is also important to realize every center is different. Some areas you can develop managing people skills better than others. For instance, as a preload sup., i was given a lot of newer people to train and "massage" into viable employees. My counterpart had more experienced veterans where all he did was walk around and look busy. Not a great way to build those skills. [/QUOTE]
