English translation:EXECUTIVE/MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Explanation:
Not entirely sure here, but directivas is a reference to board members or directors, hence my interpretation of the term above referring to skills needed in executive, management or director capacity. Further context would help.

Leadership and Management Skills

agree  neilmac: Also OK. I have a certain aversion to "leadership" and always thought it a tired 20th century concept, but it appears to be alive and kicking :)
