Management Skills Development

Teamwork:

Teamwork is essential for the success of any project in the workplace. It refers to your ability to work well with others to achieve a common goal. A team player will always prioritise the goals of their team over individual interests.

Conflict Management:

A critical teamwork skill is the ability to mediate conflicts between team members. Employers prefer candidates with strong conflict management skills because such employees can handle conflicts with efficiency and fairness.

Communication:

The ability to communicate and express ideas clearly and concisely is a vital teamwork skill. Regardless of whether you communicate in person, via email, phone and instant messages, good communications skills help you share relevant ideas, thoughts and key information with other team members.

Active listening:

Active listening skills help team members to trust and understand each other. The ability to listen to your team members can help you understand what they are trying to communicate.

Responsibility:

Within the dynamic of teamwork, it is important that the parties involved both understand the work they are responsible for and make the effort to complete said tasks on time and up to the expected standard.

Adaptability:

For a team to work together, every team member should complete whatever role they are assigned. Adapting to the work environment and working outside your comfort zone is a desirable teamwork skill. For instance, you may feel comfortable working on a social media platform.

Leadership Skills

Leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of individuals to influence and guide followers or other members of an organization.
Leadership involves making sound — and sometimes difficult — decisions, creating and articulating a clear vision, establishing achievable goals and providing followers with the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve those goals.

Public Speaking:

Public speaking abilities are important in most careers and are key to improving your confidence and presence in the workplace. For some careers, this skill allows employees to complete everyday duties. A public speaking skill is any quality that helps candidates maintain a positive presence, engage with their audience and communicate clearly to convey their ideas.

Critical thinking:

Critical thinking is the ability to think in an organized and rational manner in order to understand connections between ideas and/or facts. It helps you decide what to believe in.

Media literacy:

Media literacy is the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they’re sending. Kids take in a huge amount of information from a wide array of sources, far beyond the traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines) of most parents’ youth.
