Skills, Skills, Skills

Technical skills, human skills and concept skills are all very important in leadership positions. The people at the bottom of the chain all need to have an even distribution of human and technical skills. The middle management needs to have an even distribution of all 3 and the top management needs to have conceptual skills at the top of their list. If distributed this way, a company will be very effective.

for example, this summer, I was working in an office. I was at the bottom of the 'work chain' so to speak. I had to do a lot of work and use my technical skills to preform tasks assigned to me, such as working on social media and marketing by using computers, etc. I also had to be very good with my human skills because I had to talk to customers on the phone and get along and collaborate with my fellow employees. It may seem like as you go up in the ladder, you have less work to do. this is not true though. It is just a different type of work, focusing more on conceptual skills to lead you employees and bring your company where it needs to go. By every level of workers applying their level of skills correctly, we achieved out goal of attaining more customers through social media outlets.

As you can tell, every level of management has a certain amount of skills that are useful for business and leadership. If applied correctly, you can make your company a more effective business with a better atmosphere.
