Managers at all levels require some competence in each of the technical, human and conceptual skills, albeit with difference in emphasis.” Analyse this statement with suitable examples from your work experience.

Management function pervades across the enterprise and works at all levels. However the position of an individual within the organization's hierarchy determines the nature and content of his or her managerial position

Management work demands skills in people. Skill is an ability to translate knowledge into action. The nature of skills needed depends on the work on hand and this itself depends on the level of management. In general three are three categories of skills expected.
Conceptual skills are expected from TOP management. Conceptual skills are those that understand business environments, opportunities that are emerging and conceptualise "business realities" into a business plan

Human Resources skills are those skills that help managers to get best out of their work force. These include among other things ability to understand people's motives, desires, expectations, tendencies, working styles and to get best performance from them. These skills are required by middle management.
Technical skills are those that help business produce products or services. These skills gained through professional education such as engineering or medicine.
