What is management?
Team management requires a multitude of "hard skills", such as the ability to organise, to plan actions over time, to manage one's budget, to obtain material resources, to report to one's hierarchy, etc. All of these functions require a solid base of management skills that enable the manager or company director to manage his or her tasks effectively and to ensure that his or her department/company functions properly.
The human factor occupies a central place in the life of a manager. Being able to offer a vision to your teams and to share it, to motivate them on a daily basis, to give them unfailing support and to establish a climate of trust and mutual respect are all skills required in the daily management of a team. Soft skills such as the ability to communicate, to delegate, empathy, agility, creativity, emotional intelligence... are essential to becoming a manager who is as effective on the human level as on the operational level.
