1] Alice - "It takes years of training to be an Engineer."
2] Alice - "But you don't need any training whatsoever to be an Engineer's boss."
3] Alice - "It's unskilled labor without the labor."
Tina the tech writer - "I could do that."
I keep this in my desk drawer to remind me why some people are promoted to management. 80% of the management I have ever reported to are explained by this one comic strip.

Let me express my view as well:
Being a manager is the one of our goals in the future of most of us that we are looking for to get one day. Even it is early for some people to think about the managerial position but it gives the power and push to do the best in the job and then for personnel development from day to day till the opportunity comes to be strong candidate for a manager position.
Also, the important things to do along with your day to day activities:
- Establish good communications with people around you and costumes if any
- Develop the skills of good relations
- Other skills, many things, to be achieved in Technical side.

Other than that, you'd obviously have to know what you're talking about, so if you get promoted from engineer to department manager, you'd suddenly have to have a basic understanding of what the non-engineers in your department do. This you can learn. Take courses like "finance for non-financial people" and the like.
I can continue but why write a book if there are already millions available...
Would you WANT to be a manager? It's like the movie Bruce Almighty, you don't know until you try...

One of the common big mistakes in the companies is to promote the best technicians to managerial roles.
Not uncommon at all is to loose a good technician and get a lousy manager.

Once everyone is looking at you for advise, With or without the "Title" your a Manager.

I think most of the managers fall on your explanation as you did give the usual way of the people who become managers..
