Interpersonal skills are an extremely important set of skills that I believe every individual needs to possess to be successful. Some individuals have better interpersonal skills than others but I believe that every individual has the opportunity to work on and improve their interpersonal skills. Going off of as934, interpersonal skills are crucial to the success of a project. Without proper communication a project group can not interact effectively and they can take an extended period of time to complete a project that should have been done awhile ago. With good social skills an individual will be able to keep a discussion going and will be productive in moving the discussion along rather than halting the progress. In addition without empathy a group can have recurring conflicts that will impede the group and will pin group members against each other rather than working with each other. Being able to relate and talk to your coworkers on a daily basis will make for a better, more comfortable working environment where no one will feel scared to share their opinions for fear of being ridiculed. Although a group can succeed on overall individual input, individuals working alone will take longer to complete a project, which will cost the company more money and time that they can be spending on other projects. A future question I would like to ask is, what do you believe is the most important trait an individual can possess that relates to interpersonal skills?
