11.7 Self-Management Skills

Self-management skills are those abilities that allow an employee to feel more productive
when doing daily routine regardless of the working environment. Well-developed self-
management skills will help you efficiently communicate with co-workers, management and
customers, make right decisions, plan your working time, and keep your body healthy.
To define self-management skills, employers often organize special self-assessment training.
Usually such training is conducted by the HR department (or external trainers are employed).
To develop self-management skills, your company can organize self-development training
sessions.
Any employer is interested in hiring a productive employee having well-developed
self-management skills because such an employee can fit into the company’s requirements
and show better productivity. For employees, it is highly important to develop self-
management skills and abilities because higher productivity paves the way for career
promotion and professional advancement. In any way, both employers and employees will
benefit from developing abilities and skills for self-management. Here is a list of the key
self-management skills required for an employee to be more productive. If you have decided
to achieve career advancement, you need to consider this best management skills list and
work on the development of all the necessary abilities for self-organization.
11.7.1 Stress-Resistance

The first and foremost skill of self-management refers to a personal ability to resist any
stressful situations. When you develop this self-management skill, you can avoid many
mistakes that people usually make when being stressed out. Because a stressful situation
usually blocks our ability to think and make rational decisions, we cannot cope even with
the simplest tasks at our workplace, so our productivity goes down and we get frustrated.
That is why you need to develop this ability in order to be a productive employee able to
offer resistance to a stressful situation.
11.7.2 Problem Solving

The second self-management skill requires you to use your brain as a mechanism for making
right decisions. Even the hardest tasks and challenges can be efficiently handled if the mental
process in your head is always in progress. Problem solving requires you to operate facts
and make right assumptions to analyze the situation, review problems, and find effective
solutions. Keeping your mind sober allows you to take right decisions even in the toughest
situations.
