Gary Yukl defines conceptual skills for managing people as “General analytical ability: logical thinking: proficiency in concept formation and conceptualization of complex and ambiguous
relationships: creativity in idea generation and problem solving: and ability to analyze events and perceive trends, anticipate changes, and recongize opportunities and potential problems.” (p.
176, Leadership in Organizations).
Research some of these conceptual skills listed by Yukl that are needed for leaders/managers. Research in journals, leadership books or other academic journals. Do not use popular press ministry
books. Write a post of 450-500 words discussing what the literature says about this topic. Cite your sources. Discuss and apply to the ministry context the conceptual skills needed according to
your research.
