What three skills do managers develop through experience and education? In order to answer this question we have to start by looking at how much experience most managers have, and how much they have gained by being a member of a committee. Then we must look at what they are learning and what it is that makes them a “good manager” in the strictest sense.
There are two major ways to develop the knowledge which is the basis for effective leadership: through experience and education. Most of us have some amount of both. We know what we like, we know what is effective for us, and we know what we need to learn in order to get more of the good things that we already have. The great thing is that this combination of experiences can be developed through both. A manager has to learn what the best practices are for his team, but he also must be willing to develop new skills and to teach those that he has learned.
Experience and education do require that a manager to develop some kind of planning skill. This planning skill is necessary because people change as you go along, and you cannot always count on your previous knowledge to be relevant anymore. This means that as you change people and as you move from one project to another, you will need to keep up on those trends and changes that you have observed so that you can adapt your plans to these changes. This means that you need to think ahead and that you need to think creatively to keep your plan relevant and up to date.
Experience and education also require that you develop trust among your team. Trust is essential to a successful team because without it nothing else follows. When your team trusts you, they will follow your lead, and when they do so you can take the opportunity to educate them about how they can best serve your purpose and your vision.
Experience and education also require that managers develop good decision making skills. This is probably the most important skill that they can master and use. In order to make sound decisions, managers must be good at weighing the facts and figures that come their way. They must know what they are looking at and what they want, and they must know when they have found what they want. All of these skills come with experience, and this is just one more thing that comes with that particular kind of experience.
Experience and education teach the importance of communication for a business. Communication is a key to all successful businesses, and especially for a manager. As a manager, if you do not communicate well, then you will find that you run into a lot of roadblocks along the way, which could easily halt any progress that you have made. All three of these skills, experience, education, and communication, are very important in the management development process. What are you waiting for?
