INTRODUCTION
Need to manage in all social areas is critical and tangible. This need in the educational systems that have fundamental role in circulating in the community and its continuity and survival, is more important. Similarly, philosophy mindset is one of the features that can help managers when faced with numerous issues in education. In other words, a manager who has high philosophical mindset, for facing issues based on long-term goals, Creative generalized, Underlying rationale and a wide range of reasonable choices, has more chances. A person with philosophically mindset person has characteristics that can be grouping them: Universality, Meditation and flexibility. This person always tries to universalize ideas, sees Issues associated with broad area and long-term goals, he asks about obviously affairs, and to move beyond personal prejudice, ignorance and prejudice and stereotype, adds to his has chances. The person is flexible, foresight and creative. He examines issues from various aspects (Smith, 1995). According to management definition that is direction of activities of people toward specific goals, for a director who could handle management tasks and propel collective actions to a predetermined objective, he must have special skills. Management skills are among issues that have been important since the beginning management issues and have been addressed in various ways. This study is based on this issue, in order to get how are skills of managers (at different levels), and how is its relations with social factors? It is obvious that among the types of management, management on education organizations is the most important, because on the one hand, its result is become crude human into creative human, on the one other hand, it is supplier of manpower needs of society at different levels and in different sectors of cultural, social and economic. (Abu TORABI, 2008). Kant says about the importance of it: Education is one of the largest and most difficult issues related to human, evident that the variety of educational management is important and has special place. Educational management is facing horizons beyond economic principles and tool objectives, Although these standards or criteria are not tangible and measurable, but are important about Happiness of individuals, organizations, communities, improving products and services. These areas include high levels of mindset and the conceptual tools such as thought, Intellection and intuition that can by them to explain accuracy of the relationship. Thinking and right-thinking skills are among critical issues that have long occupied the minds of thinkers. Thinking is one of the fundamental issues of education that the necessary tools are required to develop it, one of these tools having a philosophic mind that helps people in proper and logical thinking (AMIRTASH 2011). Philosophical mindset is a tool to assist administrators who have Universality, Meditation and flexibility in their thinking. And it is expected that other directors have different qualities in their decisions. Philosophical mindset enables managers to have minimum error in your organizational decisions and better understand the subtleties and make reasonable and good combination. A person has philosophical mindset, has special human traits in three dimensions of Universality, Meditation and flexibility. Philosophical mindset finally helps to strengthen the cognitive skills of managers and indeed lead to the philosophical action. Smith believes it is important for managers have philosophically mindset, the mind of managers must have three dimensions of Universality, Meditation and flexibility. Dewey says: philosophy mindset the same as the spirit of philosophical is the features that deal with deep issues is comprehensive and flexible. MIRKAMALI believes about philosophical mind: Logical thinking is basis of manager task, the manager shall with logical thinking tries to identify the problems and find solutions for the problem, this is not possible, unless he has characteristic of Logical thinking. Logical thinking is result of having the philosophy mind. BEHRANGI believes that a manager with having a philosophical mindset has power discipline issues for effectiveness and quality efficiency. SHARIATMADARI also believes that characteristic of the spirit of philosophy (logical thinking) are: 1-reasonable doubt, 2-curiosity, 3-Thoughtfulness 4-wide viewing 5-mindedness 6-progressive ambitions 7-unity of character 8 -Adherence to values. Smith about the importance of having a philosophical mind for managers says: Forming Specific nature, certain behavioral traits in a manager is so important in complex organizations such as education organizations. Manager skills in each organization effect on effectiveness of organization and lead to improve its performance. Experts know three types of skills required of managers: technical, human and conceptual. Parsons argues that organizations can be considered as a system. Parsons distinguishes three levels of the organization, which include institutional level, management level and technical level.
-At the institutional level, providing harmonized between the organization and the larger society constitutes the main function. Any enterprise which is engaged in activities that is important to society as a whole. Aims and values of the organization must be consistent with community values. Establish coordination is of the task body institutional level.
-At management Level, Major responsibility includes: Corporate governance and providing raw materials required technical level. The organizational level acts as an intermediary

between technical systems and customers, or clients of the organization. At this level, essentially Administration Visitors, enforcers are present.
-At technical level, the vague goals of the organization convert activities that are planned to achieving the purpose. Relying on two main previous issues can be paid in two-dimensional analysis in organizations which are summarized in Figure 1. Generally, the organizational levels require human skills the same, while the institutional level managers need more perceptual skills than the technical level managers. Conversely, technical level managers need more technical skills than institutional level managers. In other words, the technical skills are reduced with increasing organizational levels (from top to bottom) and contrast cognitive skills are reduced increasing organizational levels. Perceptual skills can be known as a tool to assist people in the process of rational thinking. It is obvious that, philosophy in addition to Field of study can provide a way. Philosophical thinking is able to increase perceptual abilities of managers and make unity between thought and action. Thus, given to the importance this issue, this research tries to evaluate the impacts of the philosophical thinking of managers and its impact on doing managerial tasks of managers of secondary schools of the BOJNURD city.

There is a significant difference between Philosophical mindset and doing managerial tasks in men and women managers: H1 There is not a significant difference between Philosophical mindset and doing managerial tasks in men and women managers: H0 As can be seen in Table 1, significant level of t-test to compare the philosophical mindset of male and female managers is 0.66 and this level is larger than 0.5 that is the minimum significant level, significant differences between male and female managers in terms of the philosophical mindset, is not confirmed. It means the hypothesis H0 is Confirmed and H1 is rejected. Also significant level of t-test to compare doing managerial tasks is 0.98, which is larger than the significance level minimum 0.05. It shows there is no significant difference between male and female managers in doing managerial tasks. The above table shows that the correlation coefficient between the philosophical mindset with doing administrative tasks is equal to r=0.246 that is larger than critical value of table at level 95% (0.232), that shows there is a significant difference at level 95% (p<0.05).
