I believe that the word will drive its power from the word attached to it 
now to understand this, we give a few examples to compare so produce manager in a grocery store or DUNKIN DONUT manager or Shipley Do- NUTS manager or Tim Horton's manager or McDonald's manager, of course, not like a Project manager or maintenance manager or engineering manager or General manager of the big mill there are huge variations it depends on how big the job, the tasks and the requirements to be in and handle that position. 
I have found variations even among Project managers, depending on the size of the project and the technical complications handled by the qualification of the Project Manager; some projects require that the Project Manager be SME in a purely technical domain like construction, engineering, erection, installation or experienced in an upgrade of DCS and PLC system or IT to handle big server and security. 
Now to compare two managers with the same title, one is highly qualified, one is not, one can achieve superb results, and one is struggling.
Do all those mentioned managers need the same management skills?

Please feel free to submit your thoughts on this

I am sure that many of us would like a new change a new job in 2019 that’s why I did not ask are you planning to search a new job because just searching will not guarantee a new job.

Now you do your skills development read more books, get new courses, and achieve more certifications, these supposedly will help forming a better chance to land on a desired job but it is not guaranteed, there is more to that;

To get a good landing it has been said unfortunately is not about how much you know it is about whom you do know. Networking is very important but how that works how effective and supportive is your network.

Looking at the picture above if they know you and biased to give you the job the interview question would be how many rabbit in the picture?

If you are not the candidate of interest and just to complete formalities and push you out then the interview question would be how many carrots in the picture?

This is a reality in most of the places and can go beyond that as a project manager and wants to hire a candidate but the management and HR they are against you, not in line with you they will not say that simply all would agree on your candidate as number 1 to hire but adding these words subject to do back ground check then couple days later they would tell you; Oh the back  ground check came bad and it is confidential we cannot reveal that to you so now to move to second candidate of their choice

There are many discrimination, racism and biases in the workforce we all need to keep struggling to improve and create a healthy environment and achieve more justice and equality among all employees.

Well I believe that timing is key for effectiveness and success, having to do any thing timely makes a big difference.
Whatever you want to execute do it in its proper time you be more successful and efficient to achieve best result.
To illustrate further taking an example of managing people if any one from your team did something good and you want to reward or give recognition then please hurry up don't delay don't ruin the moment, it will feel more pleasure and more effective when it comes in the same time, this is also driven from same LEAN philosophy " JUST IN TIME"  so we can adopt this on small activities and dealing with people as well and the results are amazing,
Now that's in the positive way how about the negative things for example someone in the team did something wrong and you need to talk to him or write up so again don't delay otherwise the effectiveness will loose strengths of course there are few exceptions for that if he is doing an activity and if he get distracted then it might turn more dangerous and could cause safety issue then you better wait until the job finish or have someone else to do it, human error tend to be more when someone preoccupied and loose focus on the process.

There is a wisdom says Do Not postpone Today's work to Tomorrow. so procrastination can bring very negative results.

This was just a brief message on how timing is important it is not about JIT details as the examples are endless.
