Title: Decision making, Interpersonal and Informational qualities.
Post by: Michael Scofield on March 15, 2014, 03:51:08 pm

Could someone define these for me? My teacher said we have to know them but they're not in the textbook, cheers :)

These were the three definitions that came up on last year's exam, so you could go to the examiners report and get a really solid definition for all three.

I'll write a very brief definition out for you though;
Interpersonal - involve liaising and dealing with people
Informational - involve gathering and communicating information
Decision making - involve making choices in order to solve problems or take up opportunities

Hope this helps :)

Do the management skills fall under these three types of qualities?
For example: interpersonal- stress management, emotional intelligence, etc
Informational- communication, etc
If they do, which skills go under which 'categories'?

Thanks in advance!

Nope, i wouldn't think so, they are more categorised towards styles

My teacher has gone through this stuff:
I believe interpersonal and informational to be more like 'management qualities' than management skills.
Interpersonal: the ability to understand and relate to, as well as empathise with employees.
Informational: a thorough understanding of the business, allowing the manager to recognise problems and find solutions.

Decision-making is a management skill, and from the textbook:
Decision-making refers to the ability to identify the options available then taking a specific course of action.

Hope it helps.
