What Skills are necessary for effective Managers?



The debate as to what kinds of skills a managers needs to possess in order to remain effective at work goes back to the era of classical management thinking and more precisely to the contribution of Fayol (1911). He recommended that managers in order to function effectively, required skills such as analysing, planning, organising, monetary, authorising and enabling to which he also added the imperative communicating with others. Analoui (1993) has summarised the contribution of these theorists and concludes that, it was believed that while operations required technical and solely work related knowledge and skills, managers who occupied executive positions needed skills of managing work (determining objectives, forecasting, planning and organisation) and also managing people (directing, co-ordinating, controlling and communicating). Therefore, it was assumed that , people on work organisations were primarily rational entities functioning in a practical manner.

Managerial Roles

Analoui (1993) suggests that project managers frequently find themselves needing to make decisions. Being in charge of a department, unit or project brings with it the necessity to make decisions quickly and accurately. The skills of processing data is, therefore, one of the most essential tools in the project managers armoury. This category of skills has also been acknowledged by Mintzberg (1973) who suggested that managers nowadays have to play many roles of which decision making in one of the most important.

Theories and skills suggested by Mintzberg are as follows:
