We wonder about the special characteristics that some Leaders have and that lead them to be successful. Today we will have the opportunity to review the skills that distinguish them, for this we must understand that the level of execution that the Leader shows in each of these skills describes the effectiveness with which he acts.

?And we ask ourselves: is that the formula? Does success depend on how the Leader manages a series of managerial skills? We cannot assure that but executing the managerial skills that I will mention next, give the Leader the ability to increase his effectiveness consistently.

?Management Skill is defined as the ability of a person to manage an organization towards clearly determined objectives. It can be obtained through formal education or through personal experiences. This last learning process is the most valuable, it tells us that we can have an extremely effective Leader without having gone through formal education.

?I list the management skills that in my experience have revolutionized some global companies. These organizations have been able to base a successful culture of sustainable achievement.

1. Relations with the environment: Here is the degree to which the Leader is able to identify needs, maintain collaboration, follow-up, and respond with superiors, colleagues, subordinates, staff, unions, customers, and the general public.
2. ?Creativity: It refers to the way in which the Leader solves with imagination the challenges presented to him by generating a diversity of ideas.
3. ?Performance Management: This describes how the Leader is able to set goals that will maximize the contribution, the ability to consistently order events (planning), and to have resources available in the planned time. We cannot ignore the implementation, where we execute decisions, plans, and commitments. As a next step, it is essential to keep the critical variables (control) of the processes being managed within normality. Every process must have an evaluation or calibration exercise that submits the effort to a periodic and rigorous review to evaluate the performance and its impacts.
4. ?Change Management: The Leader must promote changes in the structure of tasks, methods, and procedures, in policies. It also includes the influence to change attitudes and behaviors of people and groups.
5. ?Productivity: Leader's ability to take advantage of the critical resources of the organization under optimal conditions, raising productivity.
6. ?Effective communication: It is the skill and flexibility that the Leader shows to share relevant information (communication), ensuring fidelity and attachment. In addition, it is measured how he resolves conflicts by involving the parties for a timely solution. Another measuring point is how the Leader conducts meetings with the work team, ensuring coordination of efforts and commitment.
7. ?Error handling: The Leader shows his ability to correct mistakes with opportunity, deriving from this learning and experience.
8. ?Teamwork: It is the ability of the Leader to direct his own effort and that of his team around the strategic objectives of the organization.

?Concluding: All of us have the capacity to work the managerial skills described above, the problem is that some of them are managed in high effectiveness and some others in low effectiveness. All of us can learn how to manage high effectiveness actions supported by a development plan, these plans require a certain technique to be effective, we must go beyond mere observation.
