     This week I visited MindTool.com and I read an article posted on the site discussing management skills. There were many helpful tips relating to proper management skills and even a “How good are your management skills?” quiz. The management quiz posted on MindTool.com helps readers recognize and understand areas in which they are strong and weak in their management skills. The quiz consists of 20 questions. Asking questions like, when I have a problem, I try to solve it myself before asking my boss what to do? And when I delegate work, I give it to whoever has the most time available. Once you complete the quiz the site provides you with sources to better strengthen your management skills today and throughout the future of your career.

     I decided to take the quiz to get a better understanding of my management skills. The highest possible score to receive is 100. I received a whopping score of 81. How much I like to think that I have flawless management skills, to the contrary, I need improvement in certain areas. Some areas in which I need a little improvement in is Managing Discipline and Dealing with Conflict and Avoiding Common Managerial Mistakes.  What I like most about taking the quiz is that right below your score; you’re able to receive a detailed analysis about your management skills. It is like the quiz tailors to your needs and allows you to identify the areas that need or doesn’t need improvement within your management skills.

     I would recommend that you go take the “How great are your management skills?” quiz today. See what things you need improvement in and what are some things you're already doing well within your management skills.
