Students should complete the questionnaire using the five‑point Likert scale. 

The scale is designed to give a general idea (it is not validated) of the three management skills of conceptual, human, and technical skills. Such a scale can be used as a kind of “mirror” to the student. Undergraduates, particularly, lack knowledge about what the job of a manager is. Helping them to look at these three skill areas can be of some assistance in assessing their own abilities to be good managers.

After the students score their questionnaires, you may ask them to share their scores in small groups of four to five and discuss their potential strengths and weaknesses as managers. Also, you may ask them to share answers to the following questions. These questions may be used with the entire class, without any small group discussions.

1. Why do you think the three skills are all needed to be an effective manager? Give examples of times when each one is used.
2. What do you think the ideal ranking would be of the three skills for an effective manager?
