In my opinion in order to run a successful company managers must have great interpersonal communication skills. They must know how to effectively communicate with their employees, and their customers. Managers must also know which form of communication works best for their employees. For example, a manager may need to communicate with an employee/ customer one on one or they may have to communicate with an employee’s/ customer in a group. A manager with great interpersonal communication skills will know which way works best for their company. By managers being able to identify which method works best, it will help to ensure that all the employees or customers are getting the information that is being put out. When a manager knows how to communicate properly for example with their employees, the employees will not have to question what the manager is saying or what it is expected of them. I also feel A manager with good interpersonal communications also takes the time to listen to their employees and communicates with them sincerely. The lack of good interpersonal communication skills causes negativity, confusion, and lack of motivation. It essentially sabotages the work environment, reduces productivity, and affects the bottom line of the organization. Poor interpersonal communication makes employees confused, less motivated and in turn can have a negative effect on clients of an organization/business. Good or bad, interpersonal communication has a direct and indirect impact on many areas of an organization/business. Managers should make sure they keep communication open.

Interpersonal communication is an important skill for managers to have. Interpersonal is how well a manager communicates with others. Managers interact with many people during the week, such as clients, business partners, and employees. Thus, making communication key at building a successful business, or just running a smooth office.
If there is a lack of communication, may make the employees feel like they do not matter. This can cause a reduction in work output, messy work, etc. It would be a bad ripple effect. A manager never wants to have a conversation or email misunderstood, so they need to be able to communicate effectively.
