For any
project, effective communication and proper management is likely to be the
pulse to the heartbeat. However, it doesn't simply just happen. Efforts should
be made to achieve the level of permeation. Not just the leadership quality is
enough; it should be successfully backed through communication skills and
inter-personal relationship in both in terms of strategic capability and
personal ability. Thus the responsibility of an effective communication system
rests with management at every level across the arrangement. Thus communication
skills define your personal propensity which can enhance your leadership
competency models. Gradually the skills becoming the core component for
developing leadership control in Project management.
Interpersonal
skills are measures of how adept a person is at interacting with others. Active
listening is also an interpersonal skill. Good interpersonal skill can help a
lot in strengthening the social skills as well as reinforcement of the
professional relationships. The interpersonal relationship can further
contribute more towards maintaining
rewarding long-term relationships. A successful interpersonal relationship is a
combination of trust, acceptance and support. It gives us a more relaxed,
honest and confident environment to work with. And apart from that, it often
take us out to our most comfort zone to grow while gives us new challenges to
become more powerful and stronger than we were ever before. Healthy and well
maintained relationships however encourage and support us to fight with many
adverse situations and conquered all the difficult challenges.
The
leaders should necessarily understand all the components of an effective system
of communication and should find out the proper ways to apply them efficiently.
Effective communication helps us better understand a person as well as
situation which can help us in resolving differences, structure creative ideas,
build trust and respect, as well as to create a healthy work environment. Regrettably,
it has been observed that major communication efforts only focus on the
delivery of a message, while fails the imperative planning and significant
management of the process. There are some well-built positive interpersonal
relationships which are quite significant for the achievement of the business
success. The process of Interpersonal Communication is irreversible in nature.
So often it happens that, you wish you hadn’t said something, you apologise for
something you said and for which you later regret. But the thing is that one
cannot alter or take the word of mouth back.
Thus to
conclude it can be said that as a communication infrastructure builder, a
leader must consider a lot of issues like the organisational culture,
identification of various changes which can impact the project management.
