Leadership skill.
Much research has focused on identifying leadership behavior. In this view, successful leadership depends more on appropriate behavior, skills, and actions and less or personal traits. Three broad types of skills leaders use are technical, human and conceptual. Although these skills are interrelated in practice, they can be considered separately.
1. Technical skill: It referees to a person knowledge of and ability in any type of process or technique. Technical skill is the distinguishing feature of job performance at the operating and professional levels, but as employees is promoted to leadership responsibilities, their technical skills become proportionately less important.
2. Human skill: Human skill is the ability to work effectively with people and to build teamwork. No leader at any organizational level escapes the requirement for effective human skill.
3. Conceptual skill: Conceptual skill is the ability to think in terms of models frameworks and broad relationships, such as long range plans. It becomes increasingly important in higher managerial jobs.
Finally conceptual skill deals with ideas, whereas human skills, concerns people and technical skill involves things.
