Literature Review
Management skills are said to be the abilities and attributes that are required for fulfilling a
certain task in the organisation. It also includes the capability in order to perform the
responsibilities and duties in the organisation by avowing some problems. Skills in a manager
can also be developed through practical experience as well as learning. Without the necessary
skills, it is not possible for the manager to deal with its subordinates that further allow the
easy flow of some activities.
It is true that good and effective management skills are essential for any organisation to
succeed. A manager who fosters effective management skills is easily able to work according
to the vision and mission. Good managers also proved as a good leader in the organisation.
Any organisation can gain success by ensuring the good working relationship between the
employees and manager. Managers are required to give freedom to their employees by
making them comfortable toward the work. By ensuring this, manager can develop the
feeling of trust. Due to this, it is found that the manager act as the role model by expanding
some of the good examples to its employees. Various skills are required in a manager to carry
out the different functions of manager. The several functions include the planning, organising
and controlling.
In this regard, Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart and Wright (2017) has stated that the technical
skills are significant for the manager. It involves the technical knowledge, process, as well as
proficiency in some of the fields such as accounting, computers, manufacturing, and
engineering. This skill is more significant at the lower level of management because manager
is the person who deals with the employees. it has also discussed that the proper
understanding of the job nature is also included in the technical skills. In recent time, several
technical advancements are seen that tends to help the organisation in getting success.
Conceptual skills not only involve the software and operating machines but also include those
skills that are required to increase sales. In the recent business environment, managers are
needed to possess such skills that help the organisation in designing the different types of
service and product. No organisation can succeed in this competitive environment without
ensuring innovation and creativity. It has also founded that the effective coordination and

ORGANISATION 4
supervision of the subordinates work depends directly on the technical skills of the manager.
By argumenting on this point, Hooper and Potter (2019) have stated that only instructions are
not required for bringing success in the organisation. It is also required to effectively monitor
the performance of employees time to time. Therefore, control is also included in the topmost
function of management. Usually this function of management, check the performance of
employees at the end. In case of any deviation, it helps in providing an effective solution to
the employees.
In addition to this, Block (2016) has also recognised the importance of conceptual skills. It
means the formulation of proper ideas as well as solution for the complex problem. In today’s
competitive environment, organisations come across several complex problems. the solution
for those complex problem is the responsibility of a manager in an organisation. The success
of any organisation in recent time depends on how much the organisation is able solve the
problems. In such a situation, managers are required to develop conceptual skills for
developing creative ideas. With the help of such skills, managers are able to look at the
organisation as a whole.
Top-level management is the one who is responsible for applying the conceptual skills. In
addition to this, Block (2016) has recognised the importance of conceptual skills. It means the
formulation of proper ideas as well as solution for the complex problem. In today’s
competitive environment, organisations come across several complex problems. The solution
for those complex problems is the responsibility of a manager in an organisation. The success
of any organisation in recent time depends on how much the organisation is able solve the
problems. In such a situation, managers are required to develop conceptual skills for
developing creative ideas. With the help of such skills, managers are able to look at the
organisation as a whole.
As compare to this Sunindijo (2015) has stated that, the human skills in a manager are also
responsible for the success of any organisation. it involves the ability of manager to
communicate with the people effectively. In every organisation, communication is a manager
is essential with the employees. Managers with the best communication skills are able to
bring out the best among people. They effectively know how to motivate, communicate,
inspire, as well as lead the employees. Managers with human skills are easily able to
recognize the sentiments and feelings of other people. Being interactive with every person on
daily basis has proved to be the topmost human skill. Therefore, interpersonal skills are

Application
Karbelkar and Hart (2018) have stated that without the help of these skills, it is not possible
to perform the different functions of management. The first function of management is the
planning that is concerned with the success for an organisation. After deciding the objectives
in planning, it is also essential for the organisation for gather the necessary resources that are
required. at the time of deciding the goals, it is essential for the manager to properly figure
out the significant changes that organisation requires. At this time also, human skills are
required for carrying out the proper planning process. Besides this, conceptual skill is also
required at this level. Managers in the organisation are responsible for properly allocating the
short term as well as long-term goal in the proper manner. Directing is also one such function
of the management. This function helps the management in controlling the actions of its
member. It further helps the organisation in communication, motivation as well as leadership.
Due to this, organising function of the management helps the organisation in achieving
success. Under the directing function of management, managers tend to maintain a positive
and productive working environment where employees are also engaged in problem solving.
However, it can only be possible when manager effective ensure communication. There are
times when employees are not communicated properly. In such a situation, employees tend to
perceive things according to them. Sometimes, results also get negatively due to the wrong
perception of things. In such a situation, managers are required to clarify the concepts and
things to the lower level management so that they assure the employees regarding their roles
and responsibilities. At the time of controlling too, it is essential for the manager to check the
results by possessing technical skills. It is because it requires due consideration on the part of
the organisation to compare the current performance of employees with the past performance.
XYZ Company has identified that demand of customers is also continuously changing such
as online purchasing. Due to such changes, managers in the organisation are required to think
strategically that affects the organisation positively. By addressing this, Margerison (2017)
identified that managers fail to address the technological changes; organisation will not be
able to grow in the 21st century. This is the reason skills in the manager is essential in order to
bring success. In addition to this, Smith and Dodds (2017) articulated some other managerial
skills. Motivation in the employees of the organisation is required for the success of

ORGANISATION 7
organisation. Managers who can motivate the employees proved to be a significant asset of
the organisation. Managers are the one who has a keen eye in the areas that can be proved.
Problem solving is also one such significant skill that empowers the manager to face,
identify, as well as overcome the several problems that can arise in the workplace.
For example- ABC Company also uses conceptual skills in order to solve the complex
problems in organisation. In this regard, Hurrell (2016) stated that conceptual skills are the
creative force within the workforce. It is because it helps the organisation in analysing the
environment as well as threat and opportunities. It is especially required at the top-level
management. If top-level management fails to identify the opportunities exist within the
organisation, it will not be able to succeed. In recent time, organisation also comes across
several problems that required quick action on the part of managers. The ability of the
motivation is also in such significant skill in the organisation. Without the use of motivation
tactics, organisation is not able to keep the positive energy within its workplace. In the
current competitive environment, success of the organisation largely depends on the skills
possessed by the managers. Any organization needs to have specific goals and purpose.
Otherwise the work tends to not get affected negatively and the workers may feel alienated
from the group's larger objectives.
Rahim (2017) has supported the statement with the help of example. It is because strong
performance of the manager tends to increase the engagement of employees. The engagement
of employees will also help the organisation gaining loyal customers. The success of any
organisation largely depends on better services. As a result, the skills of manager in ensuring
the employee's engagement proved to be highly helpful for the organisation. A good manager
always possesses those skills that tend to create a balance between the personal and
professional life any individual. When employees are not given the chance to fulfil their
personal needs, they will not be able to perform well. It, therefore, decreases the morale of
employees and performance of organisation might get affected. In such a situation, it can be
stated that it is manager who can prove to be best by seeking excellence.

Conclusion
For the above analysis, it can be stated that the organisation effectiveness and success largely
depends on the skills possessed by the manager in an organisation. Every organisation runs
on the basis of policies and rules made by top-level management. Based on those policies,
each department of the organisation works and move further. If top management will fail in
making the appropriate policies, it will not be able to bring the productivity on the part of
employees. At the same time, manager is also highly responsible for ensuring effective
coordination and communication among the employees of the organisation. In every
organisation, communication is the most essential aspect. If employees will not be
communicated what work they are required to exactly, they will not be able to proceed. In
this way, it is proved that the success of any organisation largely depends on the skills
possessed by the managers. In addition to this, several barriers are also seen in the
organisation that can only be removed through the effective communication.
