Of the three skill sets identified by Katz, technical skills are the broadest, most easily defined category. Technical skill is knowledge about and proficiency in a specific type of work or activity. It includes competencies in a specialized area, analytical ability, and the ability to use appropriate tools and techniques’. Technical skill play an essential role in producing the actual products a company is designed to produce.

These are Conceptual skills that allow the leader to think through and work with ideas. Leaders with higher levels of conceptual skills are good at thinking through the ideas that form an organization and its vision for the future. Human/Interpersonal Skills As technical skills relate to the ability to working with things, similarly human skills relate to the ability to work with people. Human skills are people skills that enable the leader to work effectively with subordinates, peers, and superiors. It is the leader's expertise in interacting with others in a way that will enhance the successful completion of the task at hand. These leaders are more sensitive and empathetic to what motivates others, create an atmosphere of trust for their followers, and take others’ needs and motivations into account when deciding what to do to achieve organizational goals. The word that makes a good manager - Desiciveness LEE IACOCCA How to Motivate your team Motivation is the external\internal reason we take action on a particular task. External motivation often shows up in the form of a reward, such as money, fame, grades, or praise. Internal motivation is driven by our innate psychological needs: competence, autonomy, and psychological relatedness. 1. Connect with their core values. By identifying what’s important to them and what their core values are, your people will have a better understanding of how to motivate themselves in their role because they’re better able to connect what they’re doing to their internal self. When something — a project, specific task, conversation, whatever —aligns with one’s core values, this acts as a catalyst for further motivation. 2. Provide clarity on everyone’s expectations. As the leader, it’s important to not get caught up with “everyone should be able to do everything” thoughts. Rather, approach projects with the mindset of how to utilize each person’s skills, along with their values, so your team can meet deadlines while providing quality work and results. From there, it’s about assigning specific tasks and offering clarity and support accordingly. One question you should ask your team as you begin a new project is, “What would motivate you to focus on the end goal of this project?” This helps you get clear on what values your individual team members need met to find their self-motivation within the project. 3. Support them to self-manage. By understanding the individuals on your team, you’re better equipped to support them in their own self-management, recognizing what they’ll need along the way to stay motivated on specific projects and individual responsibilities. By offering support rather than telling them to get motivated, you add humanity back into your projects because you consider the person behind the work and what it will take for the person to complete the work rather than just the work itself. 4. Chat with them regularly to answer any questions or concerns they have. Get to know your people, both one-on-one and as a group. Encourage your team to communicate so you are the one listening and they are asking questions, not vice versa.
