A skill is an ability to act in a way that allows a person to perform highly in her or his role. Managers need three types of skills:
- Conceptual Skills
- Human Skills
- Technical Skills
- Conceptual skills to analyze and diagnose a situation to distinguish between cause and effect
- Human skills to understand, work with, lead, and control the behavior of individuals and groups
- Technical skills job-specific knowledge and techniques required to perform an organizational role.
Effective managers need all three types of skills-conceptual, human, and technical. For example, Entrepreneurs often are technically skilled but lack conceptual and human skills. Scientists who become managers have technical expertise, but low levels of human skills.
Management Skills
Robert Katz has identified three essential management skills: technical, human, and conceptual.
1. Technical Skills
The ability to apply specialized knowledge or expertise. All jobs require some specialized expertise, and many people develop their technical skills on the job.
2. Human Skills
The ability to work with, understand, and motivate other people, both individually and in groups, describes human skills. Many people are technically proficient but interpersonally incompetent
3. Conceptual Skills
1. The mental ability to analyze and diagnose complex situations
