- Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to identify non-technical managerial skills that enhance the performance of technically trained managers in small and medium-sized businesses in Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia. Design/Methodology: The study used a descriptive, quantitative, non-experimental research design. A total of 142 questionnaires were administered to managers, and a focus group was conducted to categorize, select, and propose the required non-technical skills. Findings: The study revealed a correlation of managers’ characteristics, work-related needs, and life circumstances with the development of non-technical skills. Hence, interpersonal skills emerge as crucial for technically trained managers to embark on their careers. Consequently, business schools should reconsider how they teach non-technical managerial skills, so that emotional intelligence becomes the cornerstone for training competent managers. Conclusions: It can be inferred that a non-technically trained manager should prioritize cultivating four non-technical managerial skills: team building, assertive communication, task delegation, and self-awareness. Originality: This article stands apart from other studies on non-technical managerial skills due to its focus on a specific study case involving technically trained managers in SMEs from Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia. In addition, it includes a classification and assessment of these skills within the specified context.
