What skills should a manager have?

[Shigobad20201]

As a business manager, you are expected to have different kind of skills to helped you cope up with any form of business challenges that may comes your way. you deal with people and people are quite different from each other.

Managing abilities is the first thing you need to have as a manager in order to manage your business , you must also have the ability to orientate and take care of your customers and workers .

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.

That's a lot and is different from what I've experienced so far. Some of these are qualities a person would have to learn or change to do the job properly.

My manager is rarely at work these days and has never been a constant there.

I had commented on this before, but since it is coming up again on my feed, i will just add some more points:
The skills a manager should have are a combination of people skills and technical knowledge. People skills are important because a manager is often the face of the company to its employees and customers. Without good people skills, it can be difficult for a manager to inspire their employees and make them feel valued.

Technical knowledge is also important because managers often need to know how things work in order to make decisions that affect their departments or company as a whole. For example, if someone comes up with an idea for improving efficiency in the department, the manager must be able to understand exactly how this would work before deciding if it's worth implementing or not.

Discipline is very important and integrity is equally important too. in fact all the points you raised are all importan, but it is a pity that most of the business owners does not possess all these qualities.

Apart from discipline, a manager also needs to understand the fact that being rude to your employees would not make them productive. I have seen many rude managers as well.

It is vital for a manager to possess both personnel management and financial management skills because you can handle your finances successfully without having people on your team. You most likely learned how to blend them.

A manager should be punctual at work almost everytime to be checking up on the workers and advising them and also correct in them when they make any mistakes and he or she must be discipline for him to be able to discipline any workers that goes beyond the rule,

i think the best skill a manager can have is being able to listen and the ability to be in control of any situation pertaining to the business, personally i think mostly all people want is to heard so if you are able to do that as a manager not only are you able to keep your workers in line but your customers too.

You are right sir, time is of essence, finding the right person for the job that's what really matters, you don't have to waste your time on something that will not be worth it.

Management skills are about letting go of your personality and learning the necessary skills. That way, you can be a short tempered person but being a manager forces you to learn emotional intelligence. Other skills include being organized, able to solve problems and ability to sniff out opportunities.

There are some general skills that all managers should have irrespective of the industry. However, some skills are related to the niches of the business. For instance, a manager at a health center needs special skills compared to a manager in a fashion house.

A manager is somebody was supposed to know the strengths and weaknesses of his company and also his employees so that he can be able to use them to advantage.

I also believe that in knowing the strength and weaknesses of your business, you should also have a very good management skills as a manager because without that, it means that there is no way you can be able to enforce any kind of policy in the business.

 

[Abasiama40]

There is always a saying that a book shall not always be judged by its cover and because of that there is no how you can tell a good employee by just looking at the person . you have to work with the person for sometimes to know of their true character and how they are able to handle responsibilities.

 

[Heatman]

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.

I also believe that human management skill is something that is required of anyone who is a business manager because it is going to fall on you to manage the whole staff that are working on that you too much so that the business progress very well.
