Empirical research indicates the existence of over 60 managerial skills that are significantly related to managerial effectiveness. This paper will analyze how managers perceive the importance and how they evaluate the representation of outstanding managerial skills in business practice. It is very important for managers to have all the basic skills. For the success of a manager, learned, acquired skills are more important than innate skills. For this reason, they must constantly invest in the development and improvement of these skills. The aim of this paper is to show whether there is a difference between the perception of the importance and representation of managerial skills in relation to the individual or organizational characteristics of the respondents. A special focus will be devoted to the analysis of the differences between operational, middle and top management levels. In the empirical part of the paper, data will be collected by questionnaire and analyzed using the method of descriptive statistics. In total, 31 respondents of different organizational and individual characteristics participated in the research. It has been determined that organizational and individual factors influence the self-assessment of certain managerial skills; however, for some skills, such influence is not present. The most important individual factor is the hierarchy of management levels at which managers are employed, and the most important organizational factor is the type of activity in which managers work. It should be noted that the research did not involve an equal number of managers according to selected individual and organizational characteristics (for example, significantly more people were employed in information and communication activities than in other activities), which is why the results of the research need to be interpreted with reservation.
