Knowing what matters, and what doesn't ... That using your brains and not just your back will help you succeed. Your company like any other can make it to the top of whatever "heap" you're after but to make it big you have to learn how to think big.
Managers think about things like branch operations, business expansion, acquisitions, diversifying into new services, finding more profitable ways and means, and looking ahead a few years to understand how the business will continue to grow and prosper. Managers look at the big picture, and so in that respect management doesn't "major in minors". Who cares about the cost of paper clips? We're after focusing on major concerns, and the main driving force to the future. That's what manageent does. It's not a license to lay back and rest on.
Real business managers are unique because they are "positively charged". Taking calculated risks, not dwelling on negatives. Asking "what will make this work?" ... rather than over-examining each and every possible pitfall. Real managers simply "go for it". They know it's more about where they are "going" rather than where they came from, and then having the desire to actually do it.
