So, what skills are most important for a job like yours?
The most important skill is communication. It's very important to have clear verbal and written communication. On top of that, you need the right communication channels created and integrated into the daily workflow of any employee.
The reason I say that is because you're managing many different teams. It's important to make sure you're not only communicating with these teams, but also that they're communicating with each other.
One way I've done this is by establishing a daily standup. Every day, we'd come together, and each team would share their most important priorities, problems, and progress. That way, we could sync up, ensure no work was being duplicated, and see how we could help each other.
Communication is huge. On top of that, being detail-oriented, understanding how to establish and implement processes, and being able to do basic financial accounting, like reading financial statements, are all good skills. But communication is always paramount.
