Question

Think of someone in your workplace (or previous workplace, organized club or activity, etc.) who you consider to have effective communication skills on the job. What specific interpersonal skills does this person possess? How do these skills help this person to be effective in a team-oriented environment?

Answer 1

My current manager is an effective communicator. I think the best skills he possesses are that he is an active listener and listens to us patiently no matter what. This helps us in feeling at ease with him and we share our problems or any issues with him quite frankly.

Secondly, he makes us feel valued through his gestures. He maintains eye contact and never makes us feel that he would rather complete his work rather than talking to us. This helps him in gaining the trust of most of our employees who consider him to be a great manager. He is easily able to diffuse any tension or disputes in the workplace and in our team since we all consider him to be unbiased and neutral due to his equal preference given to all of us
