What is a manager? a new look

European Management Journal, 1990, vol. 8, issue 2, 198-202

Abstract: To stay competent, managers must look at their careers as a never ending process of learning, in which they keep acquiring knowledge and developing new skills. Any manager who is promoted from one managerial level to the next, is obviously required to engage in new activities and be responsible for new things. This, again, calls for a change in attitude, and for a continuous development of new skills. The varying mixture of skills managers need at various levels of management is the subject of this article. The paper takes a new look at Robert Katz's early model of management skills, and suggests a refined model in which many of the pitfalls associated with the previous model are eliminated.
