Abstract
This study presents an exploratory and descriptive research of the degree of mastery that a sample of Chilean executives, middle managers and professionals possess of a set of skills necessary to perform properly in managerial positions. The assessment of the skills was done through the use of questionnaires that were responded by the direct supervisors of the managers included in the sample. The supervisors gave their opinion on the degree of mastery that their subordinates had on these skills. Results showed that the subjects in the sample were perceived as having a better mastery of analitic and motivational skills, but poorer interpersonal and emotional skills. The results were discussed in relation to some recent advances in the literature of managerial skills, the tipe of skills than are emphasized in the managerial development programs in contemporary organizations and the literature on causes of career derailment in managers.
