 Communication Skills:

Communication skills involve listening, speaking

and observing.

While establishing communication with someone, we need

to make sure to try and connect with them, instead of
making idle talk. This way, the relationship between the
individuals proves to be more meaningful.
 Team Player:

Team players know that their

team’s success is their
success. They do not
dominate over the other
team members and when
their team experiences
difficulties along the way,
they share the responsibility.

They show incredible

commitment to their team
and team members.
 Diplomacy:

Diplomacy is the quality of

being sensitive in dealing
with others and achieving
peaceful resolutions or
facilitating discussions.

A person who doesn't take

sides in a conflict and knows
how to manage it is said to
be diplomatic.
 Flexibility:

Always being rigid about your

decisions can prove to be
detrimental. Instead, providing
room for change can help
quell any problem that would
arise.

An added benefit would be

to prevent any
discrepancies.
 Empathy:

It is what helps us
understand how others are
feeling so we can respond
appropriately to the
situation.

connections with
individuals.

others to come to the best solution or make the best decision for
everyone involved is one of the best things a person in a managing

be successful in life.
