 Who Is the Manager?
An engineering manager is an experienced engineer
who manages technical activities and team(s) of
engineers, related professionals, and support
personnel. This type of manager has likely already
proven herself/himself to be a highly competent
engineer, who showed a sense of vision, teamwork,
and responsibility.

What do they do?

Engineering managers are experienced engineers who
currently manage technical activities in both large and
small organizations. No matter the size of the company,
an engineering manager makes decisions that are part of
the management chain of command and impact the
success of technical activities.

Interpersonal roles Decisional roles

Informational roles
Interpersonal Role
In interpersonal roles, the manager is responsible for
providing ideas and information. They interact with
other people to make sure things get done in
alignment with organizational goals. This includes
communication both within the organization and
externally—for example, with clients and other
stakeholders.
Informational roles
In this category, the manager is responsible for generating
or collecting data, then processing and sharing
information with others. Data can be collected from
inside or outside the business and it’s the manager’s job
to analyze it and ensure it’s delivered to those who need
it.

Spokesperson

4. Diagnostic
Types of Managerial Skills

Technical skills
As the name itself indicates, these skills give the
manager knowledge and ability to use different
techniques to achieve what they want to achieve. Technical
skills are not related only to machines, production tools or
other equipment, but they are also skills that will be required
to increase sales, design different types of products and
services, market the products and services, etc.
Technical skills are most important for first-level
managers. When it comes to the top managers, these skills
are not something with a high significance level. Therefore,
as we go through a hierarchy from the bottom to higher
levels, technical skills lose their importance.
Types of Managerial Skills
Conceptual skills
Conceptual skills enable a manager to use their knowledge
or ability for more abstract thinking. That means they can
easily envisage the whole by means of analysis and
diagnosis of the different states. As such, they would be in a
position to predict the future of a business or department
as a whole.

Conceptual skills are vital for top managers, less critical for
mid-level managers and not required for first-level
managers. As we go from the bottom of the managerial
hierarchy to the top, the importance of these skills will rise.
Types of Managerial Skills
Human or interpersonal managerial skills
Human or interpersonal management skills facilitate a
manager’s knowledge and ability to work with people. One of the
most critical management tasks is working with people. Without people,
the existence of management and managers becomes redundant.

These skills enable managers to become leaders and motivate

employees for better accomplishments. Additionally, they help them to
make more effective use of human potential in the company. Simply
said, they are essential skills for all hierarchical levels in the
company.
Types of Managerial Skills

Diagnostic
skills that enable the manager to visualize the most appropriate
response to a situation.

a manager must be able to diagnose and analyze a problem in the

organization by studying its symptoms and then developing a
solution.

these skills enables him to define his problem, recognize its

possible causes, focus on the most direct problem, and then solve
it.
The Science and the Art of Management

The art of management involves creativity and personal skills, while the science
of management involves structured knowledge and systematic processes.
