| Descrizione: | This paper looks at critical aspects regarding the professional development of academic directors at an institute for higher learning in Southeast Mexico by identifying the skills and competencies required for improving productivity. The study uses a qualitative approach based on four case studies where results are obtained through observation, interviews and a bibliographical review.Based on the results obtained, the difference between knowledge and competencies lies in its application. Directors may have the necessary academic training regarding administrative concepts, yet may have difficulty in implementing them. They possess the necessary skills for achieving results but overlook those that foster positive relationships with themselves and their environment.Administrators must develop skills aimed at better understanding human behaviour, building effective relationships, negotiation, communication, empathy and strengthening teamwork with the school community and key actors to improve the efficacy and productivity of the institution. |
