The key managerial skills described in this chapter apply to managers in all fields. To help visualize these skills in action, individually or as a group, identify these skills as used by a coach during the next week. Watch a coach in person or on television or read a newspaper report. Find a good example for each of the five skills, and jot down the basis for your answer. To help point you in the right direction, consider the following example a student might furnish: "Last night I was watching a college basketball game on television. The score was tied with ten seconds to go, and a timeout was called. With the five players in the game in a huddle, the coach got out his clipboard and diagrammed a play using Xs, Os, and a marker. The play worked, and the team won in the final second. I would say the coach was using technical skill because he dug into the details of how to win."
For which skills was it easiest to find an example? For which skill was it the most difficult? What conclusions can you draw about the managerial skills of athletic coaches?
