Being a role model

A manager must not preach water and drink wine; rather they should serve as a role model regarding what they want from team members. Otherwise team members will see through their manager and not fulfil the required expectations.

Solving conflicts

Dealing with conflicts is one of the key obligations of any manager. Conflicts will come sooner or later. Not all conflicts are visible on the surface: many of them are hidden. A good manager must be able to solve even those latent conflicts that simmer just below the surface or have the potential to develop.

Communicating effectively

Setting up good and effective communication is perhaps the most important HR skill of any manager. It is necessary that the manager communicates efficiently with team members, supports communication within the team and is able to adjust to the specifics of other people when communicating with them.

Motivating others

Long-term motivation of team members, maintaining their work morale and offering a real and stimulating vision: these are quite complex tasks that every manager faces and must not forget about.

Being able to give expert advice

Among the hard skills that every manager should have is expertise in the given field that allows them to provide advice to team members about the specific tasks they are facing.
