Do you have an English word for "an ability to use people wisely"?
The meaning I would like to convey is the ability of someone who can pick the right person for the right job. Failing that, is there a phrase or idiomatic expression which would equally do?
It is not a single word, but in a business world, the term "skills management" is broadly used which means:
the practice of understanding, developing and deploying people and their skills. Well-implemented skills management should identify the skills that job roles require, the skills of individual employees, and any gap between the two.
People have different skills, knowledge and aptitudes, etc and managing them effectively and efficiently are the key to success. A good manager must have excellent "management skills" or "management capability" and "skills management" is one of the most important management skills.
