You Have Great Communication Skills
Great managers must have great communication skills. This doesn’t just mean you can speak clearly, but that you can listen well. 50% of effective communication is listening, not just speaking. You need to be able to communicate with people from all backgrounds as a manager.
You Have Empathy
Being in a management position is not just bossing people around. You need to have empathy with people and care about helping them if you’re going to make an effective leader. You need to want to help. Can you put yourself in another person’s shoes and see where they are coming from? Can you then make smart decisions without letting emotions get in the way too much?
You’re Great At Multitasking
Managers often have to multitask, or at least delegate various jobs to different people. If you were a nurse manager, for example, you’d need to make sure the work environment is as healthy as possible, while also managing a staff of nurses, and many other jobs. The infographic below can give you an idea of what it’s like to be an effective nurse manager and the skills you’ll need.
