10 management skills demanded by companies

Carlos Recarte, founding partner of Recarte & Fontenla, explains in the Proa Comunicación videos when companies should call a headhunter. He also details how important it is to take into account the professional moment and highlights the 10 managerial skills that companies currently demand:

  1. Courage and determination to take risks and accept failures.
  2. Decision-making capacity increasingly complex without having all the information.
  3. Self-awareness of our strengths, weaknesses and blind spots that cause us not to be able to see our mistakes.
  4. Flexibility to adapt to permanent changes.
  5. Constant learning both in terms of personal development and in terms of the sector in which we operate.
  6. Networking skills both physical and virtual.
  7. Develop a global mindset to help us to have a more complete vision of the world and to understand different cultures.
  8. Capacity for innovate and reinvent almost permanently.
  9. Integrity to say what we think, humility to learn from mistakes and failures.
  10. Ability to motivate and inspire others to overcome the usual resistance to change.
