Topic Description: As project managers we spend nearly ninety percent of our time communicating
with project stakeholders and leading project team. Effective communication,
both verbal and written, focus more on how we communicate rather than what
we communicate. Most of the time, we may not realize our style of
communication may be influencing other emotions – positive and negative. There
is no doubt that the people around us influence how we feel and that we
influence the emotions of people around us. Given this reality, project managers
must develop emotional intelligence skills so that we can be effective and
successful in what we do.
