Developing Communication, Versatility, and Conflict Management Skills

Improving productivity, performance, and employee satisfaction are all tied to a manager's ability to build effective relationships and communicate successfully with employees. Managers must call upon strong communication skills throughout their day, whether it is speaking to a group, running a team meeting, or interacting with employees, customers, and suppliers of many cultures. Versatility is the key. A manager who is sensitive to the style of his or her employees, and takes steps to adjust his or her behavior to meet the needs of employees, will communicate more clearly and establish a more trusting relationship.
