Published
Applying management skills can help you succeed in both your personal life and your professional life. The better you can work with people the more successful you will be both personally and professionally. Positive manager–subordinate relationships are invaluable to organizational success. If you are a manager or want to be a manager someday, you need good management skills to be successful.

But even if you are not interested in being a manager, you still need management skills to succeed in today’s workplace. The old workplace, in which managers simply told employees what to do,  is gone. Today,  employees want to be involved in management,  and organizations are recruiting employees with people skills who can work effectively in teams and share in decision making and other management tasks. Develop management skills that you can apply in your personal and professional lives.

A manager is responsible for achieving organizational objectives through efficient and effective utilization of resources.   Efficient means doing things right so as to maximize the utilization of resources.  Effective means doing the right thing in order to attain an objective. The manager’s resources are human, financial, physical, and informational. Selecting the right resources—being effective—and using them efficiently results in high levels of performance.
