Leave thourough feedback for this comment please.

A project management should posses the following communication skills:

1. Listen. Effective project managers don’t just wait for their turn to talk. Listen to your team—both the good and the bad—to really understand issues and look for ways to fix them.
2. Emphasize efficiency over speed. Make sure your team knows that going 10 miles an hour toward a specific destination is much better than going 30 miles an hour in circles.
3. Ask questions. Listening is one thing, but to get to the bottom of processes and situations, good project managers are willing to get their hands a little dirty and ask important client questions.
4. Respect your team. As we’ve said, project management is all about relationships. When you treat your team well, they’ll (usually) treat you well in return. Be nice!
5. Keep everyone in the loop. Just because the project manager knows what’s going on, that doesn’t mean everyone else does. So send out monthly, weekly, or even daily project updates to ensure everyone involved is informed and up-to-date.

Answer 1

The above para highlights the important traits of a project manager. It says that a Project Manager (PM) should listen i.e. s/he should be open to feedback, both positive and negative in order to understand the issues and fix whatever is required. If a Project Manager is not taking feedback, s/he is not doing their job properly. A PM should also focus on efficiency than speed i.e. to focus on getting the job done correctly rather than only getting it done quickly. A good PM should also ask questions to the client to better understand the situation and requirements, gaining a proper understanding of the task at hand is important for the PM. Maintaining a good relationship with his/her is also important for the PM. Only by maintaining cordial and respectful relationships can a PM get tasks done by the team. Keeping the whole team and every stakeholder in the loop about the progress, challenges and next steps is very important for a PM. Lack of information can create confusion and mistrust, thus a PM should keep everyone informed and try to ensure that all stakeholders are on the same page.
