Management requires various skills including technical skills to accomplish tasks, interpersonal skills to communicate and motivate people, and conceptual skills to understand the big picture of an organization. Effective managers also need diagnostic skills to recognize and solve problems, communication skills to convey and receive information, decision-making skills to select appropriate actions, and time management skills to prioritize work efficiently. Different levels of management require different mixes of these fundamental management skills.
