Introduction
Inter-personal skill is a distinguishing feature of successful leaders and effective managers. The art of effective communication and good presentation enables project managers to give clear directions to their teams. Speakers or negotiators who can articulate their ideas are more likely to obtain favorable response and commitment from listeners. It is, therefore, essential that managers should learn the techniques of effective communication and presentation.
