16
Management Skills
• Technical Skills
• As the name of these skills tells us, they give the manager’s
knowledge and ability to use different techniques to achieve what
they want to achieve. Technical skills are not related only for
machines, production tools or other equipment, but also they are
skills that will be required to increase sales, design different types of
products and services, market the products and services…

17
Management Skills
• Technical Skills
For example, let’s take an individual who works in the sales
department and have high developed sales skills obtained through
education and experience in his department or the same
departments in different organizations. Because of these skills that he
possesses, this person can be a perfect solution to become sales
manager. This is the best solution because he has great technical skills
related to the sales department.

18
Management Skills
• Human Skills
Management skills include human skills which mean the
ability of working with people, individually and in a group.
Managers with good human skills can create an
environment where people feel secure and free to
express the view. These managers are bold,
communicate well, and can motivate their subordinate

19
Management Skills
Conceptual skills present knowledge or ability of a
manager for more abstract thinking. That means he
can easily see the whole through analysis and
diagnosis of different states. In such a way they
can predict the future of the business or department
as a whole.

20
Why Managers need Conceptual Skills

As a first, a company contain more business elements or functions as

selling, marketing, finance, production… All these business elements
have different goals even completely opposed goals. Think about
marketing and production as a business function and their
specific goals. You’ll see the essential difference. The conceptual skills
will help managers to look outside their department’s goals. So, they
will make decisions that will satisfy overall business goals.
