Communication is a key skill for all Mangers and I agree, all would benefit from having a general understanding of it.

Having worked with quite a few in a multitude of environments, I think a lot of them are unwilling to adapt themselves to their workforce or for the specifics of the job. While I don't always think a formal training course is required, I DO think that most managers would benefit from gaining a general understanding of communication and control structures. .-= Travis´s last blog ..<a href="http://personalwebguide.com/legal-notice">Legal Notice</a> =-.

I think communication is the biggest key to being a good manager, and not just communicating, but doing so in a way that is relevant to each individual person in the organization. You can say the same thing to three different people and they could all hear it differently. Adjusting your communication style to the individual is where perceptiveness and people skills help. It relates to giving and receiving feedback, interviewing and hiring practices, employee engagement, etc. Great post.

We've all worked for great managers and bad ones (well I have!). The great ones...make it look easy...make it look natural. Good people skills are easy to learn if you are a people person and willing to take feedback and act on it. Andrew Carolin,

Why don't managers use the basics of management? It's really not that hard. But to be a really good leader you also need good people skills. They can be harder to learn. It is a very good question.
