Week 3 Discussion

According to research, employers want managers to possess three skills through education and experience. They are the following:

  • Technical skill-The ability to perform a specific job in the field they work.
  • Conceptional skill-The ability to think beyond the department in which you work to understand how the entire organization function as a whole.
  • Human Skill-The soft skills of connecting and interacting with people.

Tell me about a time you encounter a manager who possess one of these skills. How did they effectively manage their team using the skill identified?

If a manager doesn’t possess these skills do you think they can be an effective manager. Why or Why not.

RE: Week 3 Discussion

Hello everyone,

I use to work in the childcare field for over 10 years. One skill that the manager possess was human skills; the soft skills of connecting and interacting with people. We would have meetings about this and it was one of the most important thing to do. The children would be in the hands of the caregivers most of the day, everyday, all week. Parents would want to know who their child’s day been. They would want to know how much food the child ate, if any. Especially, if there was an accident or incident that occured that day. You would have to write it up, but you would have to explain verbally what happened also.

I believe if the manager doesn’t possess this that there is no effective manager. It’s their job to over look everything to make sure the business is ran effectively. If communicating with the parents isn’t effective, there will be unhappy parents, which means they would probably pull their child out that childcare facility, then it messes up the business. So, it is very important for the manager to be effective at all times.
