Therefore, in order to provide organizations with the best outcome, effective managers are urgently needed for the modern organization. This is simply due to the fact that, according to Hunsaker (2001), the importance of having managers with strong interpersonal skills is increasingly recognized rather than, twenty years ago, managers were primarily valued only for their technical know-how. an endless list of skills that managers should have to be effective, but the 4 basic skills discussed by Robbins and Decenzo in their book are conceptual skills, interpersonal skills, technical skills (Katz 1974) and political skills (Pavett, Lau 1983) .
