The role of a manager is to delegate and direct the jobs and activities relevant to an organisation's existence. The manager guides and advises the employees to ensure that jobs and activities are done in the most efficient way and steers them in the direction necessary for the organisation. The skills that a manager has learned are more important than those he or she has acquired. These skills are perfected through working practice, education, and participation in various courses and seminars. Basic managerial skills include conceptual skills, interpersonal and communication skills, technical skills, and decision-making skills. To be more specific, these skills include planning, organisational skills, successful people management skills, guiding and controlling skills, etc. Conceptual skills are highly important for top-level managers, while technical skills are more important for the first level management. Technical skills are of great importance for the first promotion, but later their importance diminishes. People management skills are, on the other hand, equally important on all management levels. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to determine which skills exactly make a good manager.
