The most significant difference of the managerial position compared to any other is that the success of the manager is measured ONLY by the results, and not by the amount of work it took to achieve them!
The manager is the person that does anything it takes to achieve the goals. It doesn't really matter what the provided resources are. If the manager falls short of the goal due to insufficient resources, it will be his fault that he was unable to convince the higher management that the goals require more resources.
I think that the true manager requires a very specific mind set, which will allow the manager to comprehend the entirety of a process, thus ensure that any shortcomings are addressed and handled in time.
Being a manager is like being a commander of a battle unit - above all it requires character. Although a manager functions like a a mediator as being set in in the middle of the two sides - top and bottom, she should not allow to be perceived as mediator because that will compromise her positions.
Being a manager is about making decisions that transcend a specific idea. If there are contradictory decisions, there will be a disaster not longer after.
Stalling a decision might be worse than making a wrong decision, because you will be uncertain and week in the eyes of your subordinates. That holds true even in the most calm and noncompetitive environments - the whole "measuring" happens on subconscious level.
