A good manager doesn't just blindly send you off to learn skills they think are necessary; they either teach you themselves (if they have the necessary expertise and spare time) or help you find resources where you can learn what you need (mentorship, suggested reading, etc.). If you describe to someone where where they need to end up without giving directions, it shouldn't be surprising if they get lost!
