Well Shahenshah Ji it depends on the office type, if it's an office i.e. for public services then the management skills won't differ, you'll still be dealing with the public like retail or eatery. Mind you Management in an office is brutal business, I mean you have so-called "office politics" to deal with, I should know I wrked in one for a couple of months.

So, u thinkin of changing your work environment then?

nope, i was having an argument with friend who thinks both have similar responsibilities and need similar set of skills where as i think they require different set of skills...i work in as accounts manager in office envorinment and he is manager in restaurant...

the kind of office envoronment i am talking bout is NOT dealing with customers but with just your employees and day to day tasks, deal with customers/vendors via phone or fax - no face to face contact...!

so...now...r they different of same?

zara nazron se kehdo nishana kahin choot na jayeeeee

same difference bazi

Office politics still plays a massive role!

EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT AND YET THE SAME, U CAN'T EXPECT ONE TO BEAR THE SAME QUALITIES AS THE OTHER, IT HAS TO BE ADAPTIVE TO THE INSTITUTION IN QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY THE ROLE OF A MANAGER IN A RESTAURANT DIFFERS FROM THE ROLE OF A MANAGER IN AN OFFICE IF POSITIONS ARE SWAPPED.....DISASTEROUS

my friend thinks that if he was to get an office manager job, he will do fine cuz as a restaurant manager he have the skills to be a good office manager...where as i think it;s not true...both make decisions, but different kind of dicisions for different environment and one experienced in one environment doesn't means he he can succeed in other environment too...

yup

so he actually thinks he can pull it of?....let us know how it turns out

no no, he is not planning to come here..we were having an argument...cuz i was telling him i can't be a good restaurant manager with an office manager experience unless i get experience in restaurant management...but he said any manager experienced in managemeent can take over any manager's job duty and will do just fine with their experience....which i think is not right...

I Do Know ..
