I personally find my talents, skills, and qualifications are more suited for upper management. I believe that what makes a good upper management individual is someone whose leadership skills are strong in the sense that he or she can lead a team of employees to achieve certain outputs and goals. This leadership is complemented by a well managing capability which would help the individual manage his or her team. However, if the leader is not as connected to his or her team at their interpersonal relationship, they might not have the right team spirit that makes them succeed. This is usually a personal character that many argue that it cannot be taught; it is something that one is born with. Once the upper managing personnel connects with his or her team, and assign the tasks appropriately, he or she must be able to make tough decisions when it comes to the progress of the performance of the workers or team members. Thus, they should be able to analyze each the skills and talents of the individuals that they are managing and they must be able to listen to their problems and concerns so that they can address them to higher personnel or to resolve the issue directly if it falls under their duties and responsibilities. I think that I possess all of these skills and would be happy and satisfied with such position.
