Management

Part VII
Managerial Skills
Managing is specific work. As such, it requires specific skills. Among them are
the abilities of
• effective decision making
• making successful people-decisions
• communicating within and without the organization
• properly using controls and measurements
• skill in budgeting and planning
• skill in using modern tools and concepts of information technology
No manager is likely to master all these skills. But every manager needs to understand
what they are, what they can do for him or her, and what, in turn, they require
of him or her.
