An interesting question that many of us may not have spent a lot of time thinking about is what does it take to be a good manager?  

All too often in today’s fast paced world of business, many people find  themselves in management positions with little to no manager training  and no manager skills. Additionally, they have no idea how to deal with  direct reports. All too often companies no longer offer any training to  those people that they are placing in management roles and they are  making people managers when they are younger and they are doing it  without any training. 

What is it going to take to make sure that we  become good managers?
