Management skills and their importance


Management skills and their importance

 

The possession of certain attributes or characteristics in a manager which helps him/her to be an ideal manager requires adequate management skills. Thus, management skills are abilities that allow the effective flow of activities within the organization.

All managers require the ability to communicate properly, organize and encourage employees, as well as schedule projects successfully. Management abilities are vital since they may help your organization run smoothly as well as help you advance in your profession.

There is a very prominent saying- “People don’t leave the organization; people leave ineffective managers.” Thus, the role of good management skills is pivotal in order to have long-term employees within the organization.


Figure 1

Within the Hotel Industry, a leader is known for his/her management skills as the quantum of work at times becomes unbearable (Guy, 2020). 

Some of the key skills include:

  •        Good Communication skills
  •     Ability to make fast and quick decisions
  •     Pertaining empathy towards fellow employees
  •     Extending motivation at constant levels
  •     Emotional Intelligence
  •     Good interpersonal skills

Managers are the source through which the overall cycle of work comes into the right place. If the source is weak, then the overall system also fails to respond in a good manner. The types of managerial skills which every manager, irrespective of its industry must possess also include technical skills, conceptual skills, diagnostic and analytic skills etc. Such types are very well explained at: https://www.iedunote.com/managerial-skills


As provided under the Human relations theory, the more valued an employee feels, the more his productivity increases towards work. Elton Mayo developed the Human Relations Theory and conducted numerous experiments for making human relations within the workplace better. The conclusion of his research was that a major source of motivation for employees is their relationship with managers rather than money or fame.


Thus, if the manager communicates properly to the employees with respect to their responsibilities, job roles, targets, assignment of duties etc, it automatically enhances his or her relationship with them, causing them to be more motivated and productive.

Figure 2: 10 Management Skills

In this video, a proper explanation of ten management skills that every manager must possess has been provided. Setting up goals for fellow employees is the responsibility of a manager and the chances of success get multiplied when such responsibility is fulfilled with good management skills.

”Better the management skills, better will be the outcome"
