Three-Level Skill Approach in Business Organizations
Think about all three levels of leadership covered in the three-skill approach (supervisory, middle, and top), and consider the different skill mixes required for each level (for instance, the supervisory level mix requires heavy technical skills and human skills, but it does not require heavy conceptual skills).
Imagine you are responsible for making concrete suggestions that would help move an organization from Stage 2 to Stage 3 of tribal leadership, but you must use the three-skill approach to do it.
What suggestions would you make for the supervisory level, and why?
What suggestions would you make for the middle level, and why?
What suggestions would you make for the top level, and why?
Thinking back to the previous discussion question, expand on your thoughts about the three-skill approach by comparing it to the skills model.
How are they the same? How do they differ? How does one set leaders up better to impact tribal stages than the other? Why? Critically evaluate the responses or your peers where there is disagreement.

What suggestions would you make for the supervisory level, and why?
I have learned from Partridge (2012) that any business organization in stage two, "my life sucks" of tribal leadership, has demotivated employees.

Concerning Katz (1995), a successful company is established on technical, human, and conceptual skills. Critically, technical skill refers to subject matters expert for a given activity to incorporate its procedures and processes. On the other hand, human skill denote the capability to associate and work with employees despite having different personalities. Finally, conceptual skill is the capability possessed by a leader to view and perceive matters from a larger perspective. Typically, workers at the stage two are composed of individuals without substantial power. They are less significant on leadership proves since they don't make major decisions though they are good executioners of duties.
What suggestions would you make for the middle level, and why?
On the other hand, there are talented individuals in stage two. Therefore, I will direct the supervisors at stage two to empower their subordinates by giving crucial duties to make leadership more effective. It is not right to inhibit shrewd employees in stage two from expres...
