This research aims to identify, from managers’ perception, their degree of identification with a series of skills required by their positions. The study contrasts the results by hierarchical position, gender, and university type (public and private). It is conducted from a descriptive quantitative approach. For data collection, we used a questionnaire with a Likert scale applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 272 managers in Colombia from different higher education institutions. We found that the skills with the highest degree of correspondence are teamwork and leadership.

Keywords : Higher education; university education; educational management; university management; managerial qualifications; educative leadership.
