Why are Communications skills so important…..

The ability to communicate effectively is the most important skill you need to develop, whether you're giving speeches, pitching ideas to your boss, sending off an email, leaving a voice message or having a face to face discussion.
In a recent survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Business School among HR managers from companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single most important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey points out that Communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as the ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to success.
Employees in organizations spend more than 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; therefore it is no surprise to find out that at the source of a large number of organizational problems we find poor communication.

As a consequence of that, employers are looking for more than a specific set of skills, they are looking at a candidate's flexibility, at their ability to change and to be trained for different roles. But, fundamentaly they are also looking for those who have strong communication and interpersonal ability .
