• Good management: team management, teamwork; crisis management
• A leadership position: decision-making; determination of objectives, strategy, mission and purpose of the company
• Good analytical skills: knowing how to take a sufficient perspective on certain situations; knowing how to pivot your business when necessary; knowing how to question yourself when necessary

A company manager must therefore know how to work in a team with his employees and his bodies (management committee, board of directors) but also know how to work alone (make decisions, deal with the loneliness of his position, etc.).

The three main areas of expertise for a business manager

A business manager must master three points:

• Management: team management; decision-making; recruitment, meeting management...
• Leadership: Reconciliation of strategy and agenda; self-knowledge; leadership posture...
• Business: business strategy; Innovation management; management of major transformations...

It is not possible to master everything, which is why the company manager must work on his skills and deepen them regularly.

To do this, the support of a coach can help the company manager to determine the areas for improvement. He can then recommend training, for example.

It is important to:

• Develop the value of your business
• Gain leadership skills
• Finding the right balance between work and personal life

What degrees are needed to become a business manager?

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to find a business manager with a bac +3, or even bac +5. Even if it is not an absolute, some formations are preferred:

• BTS Gestion and DUT Gestion.
• BTS MCO (Operational Commercial Management)
• Bachelor of Management (Bac+3) or Master of Management (Bac+5)
• BTS Management or Dut Management.
• Bachelor of Management or Bachelor of Management.

Management and management are key points in the leadership position, so it is not surprising to see this in their training. Some business leaders also come from business schools.

Can you start a business without a degree?

The creation of a venture, especially for a micro-enterprise, does not require any degree. Anyone can decide to create their own structure. But it is still necessary to make it prosper, to know how to develop it and to fully assume its role as a business manager.

What is the average salary for a business owner?

The salary of a company manager depends on the size of his structure but also and above all on his turnover. The manager generally pursues one objective: that of increasing the turnover of his company.
