Important manangerial skills

Chapter one discusses the roles and skills that are necessary for success in an organization. There are many important skills that one must acquire in order to be a successful manager. Technical, Interpersonal, conceptual, and diagnostic skills are the four important types of skills to have. Technical skills are the skills necessary to accomplish specific tasks within the organization. Interpersonal skills are used to communicate, understand, and motivate individual skills. Conceptual skills are used to think in abstract. Lastly, diagnostic skills are used in order to understand cause-and effect relationships and to recognize the optimal solutions to problems.
I definitely agree that these skills are all very necessary in order to be a successful manager. Although some skills may be more important depending on the field you are in, overall I feel that the combination of all four are very important to acquire. Having technical skills are important when knowing the operations of the actual organization. However, interpersonal skills are key when connecting with your employees. I find this skill especially important because it focuses on the communication between the manager and his or her employees. The connection between the employee and the manager is very important. The employee is more likely to strive to work harder and respect their manager if he or she has a personable qualities and a strong personality.
