Effectiveness of a manager’s activity depends on certain important skills. These skills can be divided into seven different categories: conceptual, decision making, analytic, administrative, communicational, interpersonal and technical.

1. A conceptual skill is the ability of a manager to see the “general picture” of an organization. Managers must understand how their duties and the duties of other managers fit together to plan their activity in a proper way and get the required results. This skill is very important for top managers because it helps them to plan “super goals” and to develop proper strategies for the whole organization.

2. A decision-making skill is the ability of a manager to choose the best course of actions of two or more alternatives. A manager must decide the following:

What objectives and goals must be reached?

What strategy must be implemented?

What resources must be used and how they must be distributed?

What kind of control is needed?
