If you're a technical type in management, you've probably heard that you should, "learn how the business makes money". While that is true, I implore you to go one step further and learn how procurement works, budgets are made, and headcount assigned. Learn how exceptions are justified (there's always exceptions to defined processes). Build a relationship with your department's accountants & meet regularly; show interest in what they do. Waiting until a crisis to find these things out is too late
