What skills should a manager have?

Advertisement Placeholder
A manager should know well how to speak with people, how to convince them to do things and how to punish them when it's needed. A manager should also be tougher than a regular employee because he has to introduce discipline at the employees and he also has to deal with tougher situations because he is the manager he is the ones who manage stuff and who has more important and essential responsibility for both the job and the employees. A manager should be a person who is never too late for the job, and he cannot leave the job too early because he has a greater responsibility for the job. And he definitely should be calm when stressful things happen as you say because he is the one who has to deal with them so it is very important.
 
The short and sweet of it is that a manager needs to have great people skills. They need to know how to command a team but also keep people happy, as best he or she can. Not everyone will enjoy their job but making the job as enjoyable for the staff as possible goes a long way.
 
A successful Manager should :
- have the requirement soft skills (the way he talk with clients and his employees, time management, how he present his services...).
- strong personality is a key role to be successful not just in your work but even in your life.
- Kind by respecting everyone and listen to the challenges, limitations and problems that you have and try to solve them as soon as possible.
- Fair where you pay your members depends on their hours of working.
 
A manager should have a high level of patience as this is a major thing that would enable him or her to be able to manage people effectively, bearing with them on their different behaviours they may exhibit towards work.
 
Having the ability to command respect from your employee is ine of the skill a manager must possess and before you can command respect, you should have also shown respect and have a good communication skills with your workers.
 
A manager is advisable to have both personel management skills and the financial management skills because you can manage your finances effectively without people working with you. you most learned to coordinate them.
 
A manager should have the skills of managing the company and also the financial, he/she should know how to coordinate the workers as well so that the workers will be very effective.
 
A manager must posses people skill if he must succeed as one. If he fails in this front alone, there is no way he can make a good manager no matter how good intended he thinks he is. He needs a very great amount of people skill coupled with initiative to really make a difference.
 
Problem-solving skill is very important for managers and also a leadership skill. Managers should not be an old fashion person as this might in one way or the other affect the business because they will be thinking out of what is needed in the present world.
 
Though there are skills that are more like talent such as empathy, listening and some others, Managers need to have skills that include critical thinking, leadership capabilities, sound decision making amongst others to lead properly.
 
First and foremost, the most important skill that a manager should possess is a good managerial ability. You must be able to manage the employees in such a way that you would coordinate the business in a proper manner. A business owner should also possess a good knowledge on the potential risk of the bussiness. This would help to prevent unnecessary losses in the future.

For sure! Having people who work beneath you stay motivated ensures the jobs get done on time and there is no pressure. When you have people who slack off, pressure is often put on other employees to make up for it and that can quickly become a mess.

That is very true,because sometimes the skill and capacity of the manager will have to come to play here,he has to understand the employees very well and know the kind of roles to asign to his employees,with that the job will not suffer.

I think this is why so many manager roles in companies are not long-term. People think they have what it takes to handle this and not a lot of people do.

That is the issue we have with top management capacity in formal organisation,because the ability here to properlly and effectively manage and address issues that is work related and even sometimes going as far as helping out on personal issues will go a long way to bring stability to an employe.
