Paper: Developing the Skills of Management

Management has become a professional employing skills and disciplines which are quite independent of trade or professional skills and disciplines. Engineers, accountants, teachers, and doctors can no longer conclude that proficiency in their particular profession gives them proficiency in management, nor does any profession preclude such proficiency. Conversely, it should not be assumed that any particularized schooling will of itself make a manager. Management is a skill in itself, often inherent in professional and skilled people together with their titled skill.
