The document discusses the roles and skills of a manager. It describes Henry Mintzberg's theory that managerial roles can be categorized into interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles. Interpersonal roles involve interacting with others, informational roles involve collecting and sharing information, and decisional roles involve making decisions. It also discusses Robert Katz's view that managers need technical skills for tasks, human skills for working with people, and conceptual skills for abstract thinking. The document suggests technical skills are most important for lower-level managers, while human and conceptual skills are more essential for upper-level managers.

3. Conceptual Skills
- are the skills managers use to think and to
conceptualize about abstract and complex
situations.
These skills tend to be more important for first-line managers because they typically are managing employees who use tools and techniques to produce the organization’s products or service the organization’s customers. Often, employees with excellent technical skills get promoted to first-line manager.
Because all managers deal with people, these skills are equally important to all levels of management. Managers with good human skills get the best out of their people. They know how to communicate, motivate, lead, and inspire enthusiasm and trust.
Using these skills, managers see the organization as a whole, understand the relationships among various subunits, and visualize how the organization fits into its broader environment. These skills are most important to top managers.
