executive skills
Explanation:
Eπιτελική ικανότητα. Και επιτελική ικανότητα σημαίνει: Ρεαλιστική διάγνωση και εκτίμηση των προβλημάτων. Ιεράρχηση των προτεραιοτήτων για την αντιμετώπισή τους. Εντοπισμό της ανθρώπινης ποιότητας των στελεχών που απαιτούνται για να επιδιωχθεί η λύση τους.

The executive skills are so named as they oversee and manage the cognitive functions of the brain. They play a major role in information processing, abstract thinking, problem solving, initiation and inhibition. The executive skills organize, sequence, sort, group, relate, differentiate, combine, separate and many other operations with the data and information taken into the brain through the senses.
