Human skills are defined as the ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with others to resolve conflicts. Finally, for Katz, cognitive skills represent the ability to have a vision of "system perspective" by looking at the organization as a whole. Therefore, as with other occupations, management needs to apply a variety of specific skills.
