leadership skill that I will utilize while working as a store manager. It is one of those
competencies that play significant role in growth and unpredicted success of a person (Ali, and
Anwar, 2021). With the help of this competence I would take benefit of managing the

two. It can be said that individuals expect and consider a manager with conceptual skill as
strategic manager because of their competencies, and capabilities to strategize about potential

organizational and motivation skills as well as understanding about technical competence,
