SKILLS OF MANAGERS
Managers are required to possess various skills
for successful performance of their responsibilities. These skills are
generally classified into three though some authors have four categories.
TECHNICAL SKILLS
o Refers to ability and knowledge in using the
equipment, techniques and procedures involved in performing tasks.
E.g: Ability in programming and operating computer.
HUMAN/INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
o Consist of ability to work effectively with
other people both as individuals and as members of a group.
o While technical skills involve mastery of
things, human skills are concerned with understanding of people.
CONCEPTUAL/ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS
o Ability to see the whole organization and the
interrelationships between its parts.
o Conceptual skills help the manager to
conceptualize the environment, to analyze the forces working in a situation and
to take a broad and foresighted view of the organization.
