This document discusses managerial skills and organizational hierarchy. It defines managerial skills as the knowledge and abilities managers need to perform tasks, including technical, human, conceptual, and design skills. It also describes the three levels of management in organizational hierarchies: top-level managers make strategic decisions, middle managers oversee operations and communicate between levels, and lower managers directly supervise employees and ensure tasks are completed. The skills required vary by level, with top managers needing strong conceptual and decision-making skills, middle managers requiring communication and interpersonal skills, and lower managers benefitting most from technical skills.

10. different levels skills in organizational hierarchy
As a first-level manager, you require more technical skills
in order to supervise operational employees. You need to
have good human skills as you need to interact with your
subordinates on a regular basis. However, conceptual
skills are usually not very essential for the managers at the
supervisory level.
The need for technical skills is lesser at the middle-
management level. Here, human skills and conceptual
skills are more significant.
At the top-management level, conceptual, design and
interpersonal skills are of greatest importance; there is
little need for technical skills.

11. Top-level managers require having very good
conceptual and decision-making skills.
Middle-level managers’ job’s perfection depends very
much on this communication and interpersonal skills.
A First-level manager requires having technical skill
knowledge for the particular work that he is
supervising
