A good manager is someone who can plan, organize, instruct, and sprinkle their activities with a dose of leadership.
A good manager doesn't require a strategic plan for the next millennium. They do need to know what objectives must be achieved within stated time frames, and be able to communicate that information in a meaningful way to other people. They also need to know how to put a plan in place to meet those objectives. Being organized doesn't mean putting life on a spreadsheet, as much as it means setting and implementing priorities. Leadership means setting standards and living up to them, and showing others how to do the same.
