It is not foolish to say that a manager is one who didn’t work at all. Yes true actually we take the wrong term for manager. We take manager as superman who can do everything. One thing that I might say about managers is that he is the one who can manage everything. So he needs some skills to do it all. Here are the five skills that I think a manager must have.
Communication :
Manager must have good communication skill, no doubt about it. I personally believe that there are many types of communications. Like public speaking your projects must speak to owner/CEO. It is more important than making a speech to thousand people.
Training :
Training is as essential as anything else. It is the only way to refine the skills & tricks that one has. It tells how to handle an uncertain situation. I mean to refer lot of personal training that held in city for personal growth etc.
Punctual :
Mostly people think that it is very hard to manage the time while working on different project
but I simply suggest that if one is punctual then he will be good with time management. Yes punctuality is the key to success. This skill can be developed by being conscious about it.
Flexible but rigid too :
How to flexible if people are against you? Tough to answer but we don’t have to do it, just manage it. Be flexible to you team and little bit kind to them. This will create a gentle return to you that you can’t expect from you team. Also with flexibility be rigid to the rules & regulations of organization for others & yourself too.
Technology :
I heard mostly from managers that they don’t know typing or they hate computers. I ask if they will hate such things then how they can use it. Manager should be good with latest technologies. If it is not possible then at least be good at Microsoft office & typing.
