(Rees & Porter 2008, Skills of Management 6th edition) There was a survey that was carried out that was based on how 50 individuals became managers and what was uncovered was that 45 out of 50 in the past were specialists before they were given any managerial responsibilities, a further 2 did have training as a specialist before gaining a supervisory role and managerial responsibilities, there were also a number that did have management training but this was not considered to be management training that was effective enough. This can no lead to my findings of 2 managers that were interviews about their particular progression and how they got into management as well as what type managerial responsibilities they have, this was carries out to see if the Managerial Escalator concept does or does not apply to the cases.
Findings
The interviews I conducted were on 2 managers that currently work in 2 different organisations. The questions they were asked were related to their progression into their current managerial roles, this was done so it can be related to the model and concept of the managerial escalator.

This supervisor I selected desires to not be identified, therefore he shall remain anonymous. I created fifteen questions that I asked the selected supervisor regarding his role, challenges they face and how they have overcome these challenges. The interview conducted was a simple ask and response therefor I will start from the beginning. In no particular order the questions I composed I could best relate to a common topic are as follows: 1. Did you have any formal or informal management experience prior to becoming a supervisor? No, he learned everything from on the job training and experience. No prior degrees just accumulated knowledge on individual jobs. 2) Did you work your way up to your position or did you get hired into the position? He worked his way up for four years, started at the same job and worked his way up through each required position all the way to the top. 3) What are some of the challenges associated with managing groups of people? There are different personalities and backgrounds so you have to know how to operate and help them work together and manage them effectively. 4) What are the some of the challenges with balancing your work and role as a supervisor and a co-worker? Knowing when to be a friend and when to be a supervisor, knowing when to address an employee as a co-worker or supervisor for occasionally being a friend is what they need. 5) What time do you usually come into work, and what time do you usually leave, does the time you come in and leave for work affect how you work? Twenty minutes early prior to the time scheduled and ten minutes after work ends to make sure everything is ready for the next time. Yes, if showing up on time it is harder to get adjusted to actually start working, when showing up early you have time to prepare
