Hey everybody,
With regards to management skills, how 'in depth' should I go with regards to knowing them all? E.g. in terms of time management, would you recommend knowing the systematic approach for it, or just a definition and types of time management.
Thanks!
I think it'd be good to have a broad understanding of each skill, enough so that you'd be able to apply it to questions. Because the study design doesn't state any skills we need to know specifically.
For the time management one, I think you should remember a few steps of the process. Because if a case study states that a manager has this many tasks and that they have trouble completing all of these tasks, you would then need to apply the steps to case.
For example if the case study says Manager x has tasks to do throughout his day and they were
a) A meeting with senior management/middle management
b) Sending emails notifying employees about certain information
c) Lunch with a colleague
To structure this answer you would
. Define time management
. How the manager would use time management to assist them
"Manager X would need to priortise tasks in order to remain productive and efficient. He would need to list the tasks he would need to do, and assign priorities to these tasks. In relation to prioritising, manager X should have the meeting and have lunch postponed." See how you would include the systematic approach "list the tasks" and "assign priorities"? It doesn't need much detail in it but it's very important that you always relate back to the case and use the facts given to you in the case to further prove your point and to get the required marks.
Hope that helps!
