A small business is defined as an independent profit- orientated business unit that is personally managed by the owners and has a small influence or market share in the business world . ALSO, The small business is normally the natural habitat of entrepreneurs. The small business provides the ideal environment for entrepreneurs to test their talents .
Managerial skills are specific abilities that result from knowledge, experience, information, practice, and aptitude . In addition, Managerial skills can be improved through training programs and practical experience .
Improving Managerial Skills 1. Technical skills A manager must be able to use whatever business technology and tools are needed to do the job. If you rely on a platform like Slack for communication within your organization, it’s no good if your new manager doesn’t have a clue how to use it. This is especially true for more specialized software and tools, and technical skills are also needed for specific managerial roles, such as those in marketing, design, finance, IT, product, and sales .
Improving Managerial Skills 2 . Conceptual skills This one calls for the ability to use abstract thinking, but also means being able to see the business or organization as a whole, and know exactly where everything fits into it. Skills like these enable a manager to evaluate, plan, and strategize, and are particularly valuable in top managerial positions.
Improving Managerial Skills 3. Interpersonal / human relations skills This skill is so important, but sometimes overlooked. You’ll no doubt have heard the saying that people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses. So many managers have achieved great things in their previous roles that it’s easy to overlook qualities like being able to work with and relate to colleagues and employees. Good interpersonal skills in a manager go a long way to creating a happy working environment, and can even reduce the number of employees leaving a company. This creates harmony and saves the business money.
