Every great manager has employees and customers who can attest to their motivation words, satisfaction of working under them, and positive attitude in the workplace. A great successful manager contains the three categories of management which are; interpersonal and communication skills, technical skills, and conceptual and decision skills. Interpersonal skills are a major part of managing employees and a business in general. According to Thomas S. Bateman Management: leading and collaborating in a competitive world, 9e (2011), having interpersonal skills can help with motivational speeches, conducting training courses, and staffing. Dealing with people everyday especially in a managerial position involves having interpersonal skills and using these skills to communicate properly and effectively. Conceptual and decision making skills are a very important and crucial part of being a great manager. Making decision in the everyday life of a manager can be frustrating but it is a very important process that needs proper attention to details. Having this skill set can help when dealing with employees on a daily basis and deciding what to do in the situation of customer satisfaction as well. Making great decisions is the part of being a great manager because literally people’s livelihoods are at stake if a wrong decision is made on the managers’ part.
