People Management & Interpersonal Skills Training

People management can be difficult. Having a team of co-workers that works cohesively without tension is admirable, but not always realistic. So...what people management skills do managers and supervisors need to improve interpersonal skills amongst their teams?

What Are Interpersonal Skills? What Is Interpersonal Skills Training?

On an individual level, interpersonal skills are about your relationships with people, including how well you interact with others. From a job or managerial perspective, interpersonal skills are often a key way for how you get measured and/or get things done.

One of the most effective ways to improve your interpersonal skills is to imagine how you would like to be treated by others. For instance, do you listen well, and are you attentive, with good eye contact, while others are speaking?

From a manager's perspective, good interpersonal skills make your direct reports more inclined to buy in and commit to you and your teams goals.
