Thank you. I agree with you & included some points are given below.
Good organisation
The manager is responsible for organising their department, implementing processes and guides and outlining what needs doing.
Good time management
Managers are often expected to complete work to deadlines. They must therefore manage the time of their teams and themselves and prioritise work so that projects are completed to deadline.
Interpersonal and relationship-building skills
Managers work closely with people in their team, assigning them work and ensuring they get appropriate training to do their jobs. As well as keeping staff motivated, they are also responsible for hiring and firing them. In order to do all of this, managers must be approachable, compassionate, diplomatic and have good communication skills to listen to and reward their staff.
Delegation
Sometimes it’s tempting to do a job yourself because it’s quicker than explaining it to someone else. However, managers should learn to delegate work where necessary to share responsibility and accountability.
Forward-planning and strategy
The manager puts the strategy in place to achieve the team’s vision and missions. To do this they must be able to plan ahead and look at the bigger picture.
CommunicationManagers are the main line of contact between the frontline staff, senior management and clients. They are responsible for keeping everybody informed.
Problem-solving
Managers may encounter problems in their work. They have to be able to think on their feet and solve problems as soon as they happen. To do this they will need to be experts in their field and be able to remain calm and focused while they come up with solutions.
Administrative and financial skills
Managers will usually be expected to set budgets, manage them and carry out other admin such as writing reports. For this, they will need good numeracy, literacy and computer literacy skills.
Leadership
Being a leader involves persuading others to follow the direction you want to go in. As such managers lead by example, have reasonable expectations of their staff and are excellent persuaders.
