Leadership, Communication, and Interpersonal Skill

Leadership is an important interpersonal skill that involves effective decision making. Effective leaders

incorporate many other interpersonal skills, like empathy and patience, to make decisions. Leadership skills can

be used by both managers and individual contributors. In any role, employers value people who take ownership

to reach common goals. Thus, an essential skill to have in becoming an effective leader is Interpersonal skill,

this on the other hand refers to a persons’ ability to communicate with and interact with other people. Included

with this are the abilities to get along with others on a personal level, to maintain a professional level of empathy

towards the situations that others may be experiencing, and to simply get along with people on a personal level.

Everyone you work with is a person with individual feelings and needs.

Together with Leadership and Interpersonal Skill is Communication skill which involves the ability to

take an idea or set of instructions and be able to convey them to others in a manner that is comprehensible. These

skill will enable you to give clear instructions, communicate ideas to your team or a group, and keep management

informed of the status of your current projects. Both communication and interpersonal skills are important, but

each is more effective with the other than alone. It doesn’t matter how nice or charming you are (interpersonal)

if the instructions you give (communication) cause confusion. On the other hand, it doesn’t matter how clear your

instructions are (communication) if your team members think you are rude, cold, and cruel (interpersonal.)

As concerned with becoming an effective leader in an organization, as leaders we should take a look at

our preferences and style in an effort to determine whether or not you need to strengthen either of these areas. But

rest assured improving your skills in both of these platforms will get you (as a leader) in a much more effective

and competent state as a person and as a professional. Hence, it can be agreed that these two (2) skills go hand in

hand with one another to become more effective and deliver out wanted results in the organization.
