• A manager does not perform each of these roles
in isolation. In fact all these roles are linked and
in reality it may become difficult to separate
them. Some managers may be performing more
of one set of roles than others. Most managers
irrespective of their levels and nature perform, to
a little degree at least, all these roles.
• In the real world, these roles overlap and a
manager must learn to balance them in order to
manage effectively. While a manager’s work can
be analyzed by these individual roles, in practice
they are intermixed and interdependent.

36. Managerial Skills
• Skill is the knowledge and ability that
enables one to do a job very well.
• Managers need to develop different
skills in order to perform their duties
effectively. There are some basic
skills, which all managers should
possess.

Managerial SkillsManagerial Skills
Robert Katz identified three types of skills to make a manager
effective: technical, human and conceptual.
1. Technical skills involve an understanding of, and proficiency in a
specific kind of activity particularly one involving methods,
processes, procedures and techniques.
2. Human skills reflect the ability of a manager to work effectively
as a team member and build cooperative effort within the team he
heads. Human skills deal with working with people.
3. Conceptual skills involve the ability to see the enterprise as a
whole. It includes recognising how the various functions of an
organisation depend on one another and how changes in one part
affect all the other parts and it extends to visualising the
relationship of the individual business to the organisation, the
community and the political, social and economic forces of the
nation as a whole.
