Now a days, I see many middle managers with less management skills – because most of them just became managers, based on the experience they got in years – but not really with required qualifications. No – I am not taking about educational qualifications. M.B.A is not a criteria for any managers – it is just an operational knowledge. Here I am listing 5 basic qualifications – which I found from my best managers.
1. Planning Skills
Not just for software projects, but for anything we need a proper planning to avoid stop-points in reaching the goal.
2. Communication Skills
Not just talking, but also listening, understanding and discussing. A very important thing is avoiding bad language.
3. Presentation Skills
It is all about what to say, how to say, what is the sequence of information delivery etc.
4. Pro-active nature
Visualize the case with multiple if conditions – and plan accordingly.
5. Prioritize works
What to do, when to do, which work is linked with what, setting expectations and communicating the same.
