As a Virtual Assistant, i have realized that the project management skills are also essential in a Virtual Assistant role:
1. Communication: This is crucial for Virtual Assistants since most tasks involve coordinating with clients, team members, or stakeholders remotely. Clear communication ensures that instructions are understood and tasks are completed correctly. As a VA, mastering both written and verbal communication is essential to avoid misunderstandings and keep projects on track.
2. Negotiation: While negotiation might not seem as prominent in a VA role as it is in project management, it does come into play. You may need to negotiate deadlines, scope of work, or payment terms with clients. Strengthening negotiation skills will help you manage expectations and maintain healthy client relationships.
3. Time management: Time management is a core skill for Virtual Assistants. Since you might be handling multiple clients or tasks simultaneously, effectively managing your time and prioritizing tasks is key to success. This is one area you likely need to cultivate continuously to ensure efficiency.
4. Understanding the regulatory environment: This may not be as central to a VA’s daily tasks, but understanding the legal and regulatory framework of your client’s business can be important. For instance, data privacy regulations or freelance contract law can affect your work. This is an area where knowledge can set you apart, especially when dealing with international clients.
5. Ethics and adherence to standards: Ethical conduct is a must in any profession, including virtual assistance. Adhering to standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and transparency builds trust with clients.

Hello,
It’s been an awesome learning so far, I believe all six skills are essential when it comes to the subject of becoming a PM’s, I remembered when I was doing my undergraduate project defense, I was handed over the opportunity to lead the group of 17 students and some of all these skills were exhibited of which some I was not fully aware of not until I came across this course.
Becoming a great PM’s is a great deal and hard work , but it’s never impossible.
Hi!

I really think I need to improve on my time management skills, particularly the aspect of balancing what is most important with what is most urgent. I’ll need to start considering this in every projects I’m being given to handle and also in my day to day activities.
I will also need to give myself to continuous professional development so as to stay abreast on how to stay on top of the game in project management .
Thank you
Time management and communication skills are very important for project managers
Also CPD will help us stay ahead of trends in current time.
I’ll need to work on my time management skills a lot.
In my current role as a Sales Executive, I’ve had to use all of these skill set. Communication and negotiation is a day-dqy affair, time management too…all of them.
I communicate effectively although I still think I need to level up in that area and time management too as procrastination has slowly crept in🤧
All skills are as important to effectively and efficiently pull a project through. In my most recent role as a librarian, I made use of all the skills as they enabled me meet clients demand and engage well with the users.
As front desk officer, communications ,time management and ethics /standards are very important.
You relate to your customer at specified TAT (turn around time )
Having in mind the ethics and standard of the Organisation you are working for
I will really love to skill up in areas of Negotiations in order to meet up with the strategies and tactics of negotiations.
Being a communication professional myself, I have equally learnt the art of negotiation and time management which has come in handy in my current job. But I would say I know I need to learn about the regulatory environment and ethics/standard of the profession which should be part of my continuous learning.
For me,all matters a lot but communications, time management and negotiation skills are one to be mastered by any aspiring project manager.
These three are the basics I need to improve upon as a project manager. Others skills too are very important, also the need for continuation of professional development shouldn’t be underestimated.
Achieving these goals will significantly enhance my professional abilities as a project manager.

Clarifies* thoughts I beg your pardon .
I guess paying attention to details should be part of the areas I need to improve on
After a thorough assessment, I believe that focusing on the last three goals is essential for my development. These goals include being aware of ethics and standards, understanding regulatory bodies and the environment, and maintaining continuous professional training. Achieving these goals will significantly enhance my professional abilities as a project manager.
All six skills are essential and apply to my job role as a QSR manager. They are crucial to my day-to-day outlet operations. However, to become a successful project manager I need to pay more attention and emphasis on Time management and Communication skills.
Communication: Effective communication enhances productivity and promote Team work. It improves customer service and clients relationship, classifiers thoughts, saves time and boost stakeholders confidence. This skill among others for me, is one of the key to successfully manage a project because any little unclear information can change the entire scope of your project. I pass information to my team and follow through to ensure that it is cascaded down to the larger house for fear of mishap which may not be the best approach. However, I Intend to continue to improve on this skill through continuing professional development and listening to Team members who may have better ideas of how to communicate effectively.
Time Management: In the course of multitasking as my job role demands, I sometimes get overwhelmed with controlling time spent on various activities which may affect maximization of productivity and efficiency.
I have actively taken steps to setting realisable time frame using the Eisenhower matrix and focus on high priority task first.
I would appreciate your suggestions on how I can further improve on the skills mentioned.
Each of these skills are important. But the most essential for me as a sales person is the communication and negotiation skills.
An excellent communication skill helps me to actively listen to my customer, know what they want or their pain-point, and then know how best to channel and tailor my sales pitch to suit those need. these is the basis to making them interested in what you have to offer.
Also the negotiation skills is one which i perfectly use to get the needed payment for the value my product is offering. By communicating the advantages, benefits and problems which my product solve, I then use my negotiating skill to get the payment done seamlessly without much hassle.
The skill which i will look into is the continuing professional development. Every skill or profession has new things that emerges always. I will endeavor to always be on the look out for new trends, upgrade when necessary and make sure I’m on board with new trends always.
As an aspiring Project manager understanding and applying the 7 skills will help sharpen me professionally towards a successful completion of a project and meeting key stakeholders expectations.

As an Administrative Secretary, for me I think I need to pay more attention to my time management skill especially prioritising work by balancing what is most important with what is most urgent.
In my role as both a customer support expert and an event planner, I’ve realized that many project management skills are essential to perform effectively. Here’s how I see myself in relation to these areas:
1. Communication: This is one of my strongest skills. In customer support, I communicate clearly and empathetically with customers to resolve issues, while in event planning, I ensure vendors, clients, and my team are all on the same page. I believe this is an area where I excel.
2. Negotiation: I’m often in situations where I need to negotiate. Whether it’s calming down an upset customer or securing the best deals from vendors for an event, I feel comfortable here. However, I could always refine my skills to become even more effective, especially when dealing with high-stakes negotiations.
3. Time management: This is critical in both of my roles, and I manage my time well, balancing multiple deadlines. In customer support, timely responses matter, and in event planning, meeting deadlines for bookings and setup is key. I do a good job, but there’s always room for improvement in prioritizing when unexpected challenges arise.
4. Knowledge of the regulatory environment: I feel this is a gap I need to work on. For customer support, staying updated on data protection laws is important, and for event planning, I need to be more familiar with permits, health, and safety regulations, especially for larger or more complex events.
5. Ethics and standards: I always strive to maintain high standards in my work, whether it’s handling customer issues with integrity or ensuring I’m transparent with my clients and vendors during event planning. This is something I deeply value.
6. Continuing professional development: I recognize that I need to stay current with the latest tools and trends in both fields. In customer support, I could benefit from learning more about advanced CRM systems, and for event planning, it would be helpful to explore event tech and project management tools more deeply.
Skill Gaps and Actions:
• Regulatory knowledge: I plan to take courses or attend workshops on data protection laws and event regulations, particularly focusing on legal requirements that affect my work.
• Continuing development: I’m also considering attending industry webinars or conferences to stay updated, especially on new technology that could streamline customer service or enhance event planning. Additionally, getting a project management certification like PMP could be a long-term goal to enhance my skill set further.
This reflection is helping me think through my next steps. What are your thoughts on how I could tackle these gaps even better?
As an IT Manager in Nigeria, knowing local laws and regulations is essential for smooth project execution. These laws vary by region and can impact project timelines.

Ethics and standard: I have a standard which is giving my customers the best. I don’t compromise on values. You definitely will get value for your money. The value I place above money brings my customers back all the time.

As a construction project manager in my organisation, all the outlined skill sets mentioned in this course and many more are important to the success of my operation. I
have an academic background in architecture and construction management. Let me briefly explain how each skill contributes to project deliveries………..
Communication- From design stages to handing over, communication is important. The Client must understand and be satisfied with the design before approval. The project team must also have detailed information which must be communicated to them in every form possible to perform their tasks effectively towards the end goal. Communication is the bedrock of project management……….
Negotiation- This skill is vital in achieving win-win success outcomes in project management. It helps keep the project within the budget, quality and satisfactory outcome………..
Time management- This is a skill that showcases the leadership strength of a project manager. To exhibit this skill, leadership skills must be formed to drive and manage time. It takes leadership skills in a manager to drive a project team towards delivering the project within a time frame. Except in a few cases where machines would be employed to perform a particular task, human beings would be required to carry out tasks on the project site. Another aid to time management is the ability to adopt appropriate training and technologies- hard and soft. I need more knowledge in this aspect which I hope to achieve through this bootcamp training…………
Knowledge of the regulatory environment- This is necessary to avoid running the project against statutory orders. A project manager must be versed in government regulations and environmental requirements on a particular project. Lack of this skill has led many projects to be abandoned or collapsed……..
Ethics and standards- This skill provides safety and operational guides for a project manager. This is where the expertise of the manager is graded and guarded. Adherence to ethics and standards amplifies the uniqueness of a project outcome……..
Continuing professional development- A project manager must keep learning and unlearning always to stay fit and perform excellently. Continuous professional and personal development is an added value which keeps us competitive and unique. Project management has a broader scope of knowledge even outside one’s field of education. Also, CPD has become necessary because of the unprecedented growth in technological advancement, innovation, discovery and research……..

2. Time management: Another crucial skill, as balancing various tasks and meeting deadlines was a significant part of the job. I’m confident in this area, though there’s always room to improve in handling overlapping priorities more efficiently.
3. Negotiation: Although not everyday, there were times when negotiation was required, particularly when coordinating with other departments. I could improve my ability to reach win-win outcomes more effectively.
4. Understanding the regulatory environment: I have a foundational understanding but would benefit from deeper knowledge of the regulations that directly impact operations.
5. Ethics and adherence to standards: Strong adherence to ethical standards is key in operations management, ensuring compliance and maintaining a fair working environment. I feel comfortable here but recognize the need to stay updated as regulations evolve.
6. Continual professional development: This is an area where I can improve. Staying current with industry trends and new technologies would enhance my skill set and contribute to the success of future projects.

Communication: I am confident in my abilities to effectively communicate with my team, patients, healthcare professionals as well as cross-disciplinary professionals. However, I recognise the need to improve my communication skills in a project management context, especially in creating clear project charters, status reporting, and stakeholders management plans.
Negotiation: I have had experience negotiating with various suppliers, vendors, and customers/clients, but I’d like to develop my skills in negotiating with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to ensure project goals are met.
Time management: As a pharmacist, I am accustomed to managing multiple tasks as well as prioritising them. However, I recognise that I have to improve my skills in creating and managing project schedules, timelines, and deadlines, thereby effectively managing dependencies and mitigating delays.
Knowledge of the regulatory environment: I am well-versed in my pharmacy regulations, and standards, but I would like to expand my knowledge to include project management-specific regulations, such as National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH), National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD), National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) as well as some cross-borders regulatory bodies such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(HIPPAA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines in the United States and National Health Service (NHS) England, and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom.
Ethics and Standards: As a healthcare professional, I am committed to upholding ethical standards. I would like to develop my skills in applying ethical principles to project management decisions, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness.
Continuing professional development: I recognise that it is important to stay current with industry developments and best practices, and as such, I would like to commit to ongoing learning and professional development in project management methodologies, including Agile and Scrum.
How do I plan to address these gaps? I plan to:
Continue taking courses or training/certification programs in project management, such as PMP or PRINCE2.
Develop my managerial skills, focusing on strategic management, finance, and human resource management.
Seek guidance and mentorship from experienced project managers in healthcare.

As a customer service person, I had a number of emails to reply to and phone calls to make daily which had to be done in a timely manner and must be achieved before the close of business everyday.
During this period, all the work ethics and standards were duly observed. At the moment, I am presently learning project management as the base of continuing professional development.

However, where I know I need to work on are:
* NEGOTIATION: Teachers are being paid peanuts compared to what they contribute to the society.

So, when I work on my negotiation skills regarding payments and salaries, I believe teachers will be better paid to make for a higher standard of living.
*Another crucial skill I need to master is the area of CONTINUING PROFESSiONAL DEVELOPMENT. I need to always update my knowledge on-the-job in order to be well-grounded on the job.

Considering all 6 skills, I have realized they are all important and part of my daily routine as a project manager. I look forward to improving my negotiations skills and time management.
Continuing Professional Development:
I have been researching programmes and courses concerning this and DEXA has provided a stepping stone in my scale up in being a certified project manager.
Negotiation:
I’ve never been much of a negotiator when it comes to tasks and unrealistic deadlines. I do them and grumble so, when an unrealistic deadline is put out for a task which would require information from other resource persons outside of the unit on the project, I will draw out a plan with expected deliverables/time so that my team lead can get daily statistics report which could be reported to the seniors until the task is complete.
The six skills, are of great essence in my organization although, the ones that are very much needed are communication, negotiation and continuing learning/development.
For the aspect of communication, having come to the realization that what matters most is not the message but the method in which the message is being communicated, I will seek for better ways of communicating an idea or observation which could be through having an informal discussion.
When it comes to negotiation, its absence is affecting the work performance negatively, hence, as a project manger, I will seek for ways to make the major stakeholders see the benefits of proper negotiation.
Finally, I will ensure that both myself and the members of my team upskill ourselves so as to be ready for the changes in the workspace
As a client relationship manager, all six areas are essential.
However, I need to improve in the continuing Professional development area. It is very easy to forget to do so when you are busy working, but it is necessary for personal development and career advancement.
All the skills are basically parts of my day to day activities, but the most important skill a project manager needs that is essential to my job is COMMUNICATION. People come into the facility, or they call or line for inquires, we have to communicate the right information to them. Language barrier can hinder the success of communication.

Having worked as Floor Manager in a retail store,I had a lot of sales representatives who were my direct subordinate,who needed my directions to be able to carry out Thier daily tasks.All of the aforementioned roles applied to me because it was part of my daily routines .
COMMUNICATIONS.
I needed to communicate to the sales representatives on how to Carry out their duties effectively, communication is also expected to be timely as it gives timely and effective.
However an effective communication is one that is clearly stated and understood.
NEGOTIATION.
In as much as I am the term lead,there is also room to negotiate with my sales representatives as to when it is convenient for them to carry out their given task not inpossing on them but also ensuring that the task is done.
TIME MANAGEMENT.
This is another factor that was very essential as a team lead because,I had to give the sales representatives time to carry out their task but as well supervise them to ensure that the task is done within the time frame that stipulated for it.ensuring that no stone is left unturned.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE REGULATIORY ENVIRONMENT..
Aside from the fact that the shop floor attendants had to constantly merchandise their various products on the shelf,there were several rules and regulations guiding the establishment,which I ensued that they all adhered to.
ETHICS AND STANDARDS.
As a team lead I needed to ensure that my Sales representatives as well as myself behave ethically at all times,as professional ism is highly required in discharging our various duties.
CONTINUOS LEARNING.
As a Floor Manager that I am and a team lead,it is mandatory that I engaged my self in personal training and growth so that I can evolve in this contemporary society.
My last role was in sales, not directly a project manager but had aspects of it which was quite interesting. Well, it cut across all the areas so I would give my take on all of them.
Communication: it is very vital because, everyone involved in a project need clarity on what the end goal is in other to work effectively.
Negotiation: ”quid pro quo”, something for something. It is important to note that every transaction should be mutually beneficial so a PM would need to understand the importance of finding common ground in negotinegotiating .
Time management: any goal without a time frame is not a goal but a wish. Time creates urgency and that can be a motivating factor to a team in doing a job.
Knowledge of the regulatory environment: having information about the environment you are stepping into is key, it allows for better navigation through out the project.
Ethics and standard: sometimes, it is just a thin line between right and wrong so a Pm has to be cautious of this to avoid legal challenges especially.
Continuing professional development: good,better,best,perfect and so on. There is always room for improvement so never settlr for where you are otherwise those who are evolving continuously would flush you out of the system.
Thank you.
All the above listed points are important to me as a civil engineer, but some are more important than others and I would focus on the more important ones in my discussion.
* Communication: Clearly conveying complex technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences is crucial for successful project execution.
Thus communication is very important to me as a civil engineer in order to drive home assigned projects successfully.
* Time Management: Civil engineering projects are often large-scale and involve multiple stakeholders. Strong time management skills ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget. One thing I learned regarding time management in my profession is that, the more time you spend on a project, the more cost you accrued to complete the project. Therefore, like the saying, time is money, I pay more attention to project completion time while at the same time following procedures and maintaining standards.
* Understanding the regulatory environment: Civil engineers must navigate a complex web of regulations to ensure projects comply with safety and environmental standards. Each and every countries, regions, province have their regulations and standards including general regulations in construction industry as a guide to effectively carry out construction process and standards.
The above discussed skills can be improved by taking the following steps:
* Communication: Take a communication skills course or workshop. Practice active listening and public speaking.
* Time Management: Utilize project management tools and techniques. Create clear deadlines and milestones for projects.
* Regulatory environment: Stay up-to-date on the latest regulations by attending industry seminars or workshops.

5. Ethics and adherence to standards: Essential – Upholding ethics and standards maintains professionalism, trust, and credibility.
6. Continual professional development: Essential – Staying updated with industry trends, best practices, and new skills is vital for growth and excellence.
To bridge skill gaps, I consider:

– Seeking mentorship or guidance from experienced professionals
– Joining professional networks or associations for knowledge sharing and continuous learning
– Volunteering for projects that challenge me to develop new skills
– Regularly seeking feedback from colleagues, managers, and clients to identify areas for improvement
By acknowledging areas for improvement and taking proactive steps, I can enhance my project management skills and contribute more effectively to my organization.
Based on my past and present work experience, I can confirm that these six skills are all essential for my job. But having less engagements on these 2 areas;
Negotiation
Knowledge of regulatory environment,
in the past, makes them a gap in my project management skills, which needs to be improved upon.
In order to prove on them, I need to take the following steps,
1. For Negotiation – Offer myself as a volunteer, to the sub team in my work place, that is charged specifically with the negotiation responsibilities. In that way, I will gain knowledge and get up skilled in that area.
2. For Knowledge of the regulatory environment – Study the written policies of the relevant regulatory agencies, and also seek the knowledge of the local policies and regulations within the locality where the project is sited.
As an administrative officer and an in-training virtual assistant, continuous self-improvement in the six areas is important as the outcome will enhance my skills and aid in excellent project execution, management and delivery.
All the six areas listed are essential in my current job as a teacher and ui/ux designer and also a virtual assistant in training. i do need to work on my negotiations skills ,Understanding the regulatory environment, ethics and adherence to standards as i am new to project management and also continual professional development.
Having worked as Head of Programs in an organization, all of these skills were extremely necessary and no one skill was more important than the other as they are in some way connected and intertwined.
Although, the skills I need to improve on are personal development and negotiation and I know that I am on the right track taking this course.
All the skills listed have been very helpful to me in my current role as they are part of my day to day activities. However, I think I need to do better on my knowledge of the regulatory environment as well as ethics and standards.
All the skills here are very essential and intertwined but the skills I think is very necessary is that of communication, negotiation and time management, these are like basic or foundational skills that is a must have for any project manager or member of a project team
All the skills listed above are very important for my job but i believe i have need to improve my time management and negotiation skills to help increase my chances of landing more jobs.
All the skills explained are important for my job but there is a need for me to work on my Communication and Time Management skills, so that I can better get projects done.

In order to produce an excellent result as a project manager, all the skills are very essential. Personally, I need to improve in the communication aspect and to be time conscious to deliver project effectively and on time.

A project Manager needs Negotiation skills to secure resources.
Efficient Time Management to create realistic goals and schedules.
Understanding the Regulations and laws to prevent legal issues.
Upholding Ethical Standards to build trust.
Continual Professional Development to fully pay attention to industry trends and adapt to changing circumstances.
All the six areas expounded are very necessary for project management. Personally, as a business development manager of my company, I need to build more on my communication skill in managing both my internal and external audience.
Again, time management is a veritable tool which I need to work on because, most times I see myself running behind schedule in project delivery and sometimes, seeking for extension of schedule to deliver on projects.
In other to produce optimal results as a project manager, all skills are required and essential. However, as an individual that is looking forward to becoming a project manager, I need to be more equipped in communication skills, negotiation skills and also continual professional development.
As a project manager all six skills are very essential in carrying out our duties or roles as a project manager.
Communication and time management is very essential for me in the role I’m playing as the head of welfare in my team but currently I think I need to work on negotiation and to improve on that I engage in various trainings and also speak with experienced people to gain more insights
Communication, time management and adherence to standards and ethics come in handy in my current role.
To breach the gap in skills I am lacking in, I am open to learn, coached and develop myself.
We need many skills to help us fullfil the goal as project managers in my current skills I am lacking time management, communication,and negotiation skills
What I am doing is seeking training and support from experienced people.
As a project manager, all these skills are what makes me stand out as a professional in the field. Of a surety, all these skills are essential to a project manager for effective performance. Having a prior knowledge on all these skills, all I need to do is to improve myself on them through consistent practicing and intentionality.
i think i need to be up to date about the regulatory requirements as non-adherence could lead to serious sanctions from the supervising governing bodies involved.
In my recent roles where I led a sales team in a wine distribution company and later became a research project manager for an institute, I usually made use of the following to achieve the targeted goals:
Communication: Clearly articulating project goals by letting my team members understand what is needed most during sales, timelines are always assigned while on any research i was assigned to work on by my top managers, and expectations to team members and stakeholders are clearly stated and worked to avoid miscommunication.
Negotiation: Managing conflicts when it comes with customers and team members, setting priorities to be able to achieve goals, and allocating resources to meet project demands like disbursing money for promotins and advertsment, when it comes to pricing which is the bases of many businesses i have used this my skill to achive many sucesses in businesses and managing both team members and clients.
Time management: Coordinating tasks and delivering on the proposed time made my team achieve great sales and meet up with our projects, establishing deadlines, and ensuring timely project delivery.
Ethics and adherence to standards: Maintaining integrity is one thing i have come to understand makes business relationship between clients and team members propers, transparency is another thing that clients love so much when you say yes and it stands.
I am presently doing some certification courses that will give me edge among my peers in the PM space and equally learning the regulations based on the environment i find myself.
I use some of these skills in my current job but I need to work on my negotiation skills and time management. I believe I’m good at communicating well but there’s always room for improvement.
I am currently making use of my time management skills and at the same time, upholding the standards and ethics of the food production company that i am working for. My negotiation skill and communication skills are skills i am actively working towards by getting related materials that feeds me with the knowledge and implementation

Getting the right skills will make work easier, get more work done on time and this will increase productivity in any given project!
As a banker, all the listed skills are essential. I intend to bridge the gap in communication by improving my active listening skills, being clear and concise in my communication, and using appropriate communication channels. I also consider taking courses or workshops on communication skills to improve my abilities. To improve my negotiation skills, I can start by researching the other party’s interests and needs and then use that information to develop a strategy for the negotiation. I also practice active listening and empathy to understand the other party’s perspective better. Additionally, I intend to take courses or workshops on negotiation skills to improve my abilities in this area.
To improve my time management skills, I have started by prioritizing tasks and setting realistic deadlines. In recent times, I have considered using time management tools such as Pomodoro timers, calendars, to-do lists, and project management software. Additionally, courses or workshops on time management to improve my abilities in this area will be an added advantage, while to improve my knowledge of the regulatory environment, I engross myself with reading industry publications and attending industry conferences and events. Industry-related laws, acts, and decrees are helping me tremendously.
To improve my ethics and standards, I make a point of duty by familiarizing myself with the ethical guidelines and standards set by my organization and industry, and to improve my continuing professional development, I started by setting goals for my career development and identifying areas where I need to improve. I have also considered and decided to take courses or workshops on professional development to enhance my abilities in this area.
I intend to work on my communication and negotiation skills. I’ve always had difficulty in conveying ideas or messages to people, Also while negotiating, i tend to bring in sentiments. I believe at the end of this course, I’d have greatly improved.
I intend to work on time management and negotiation skills in order to serve clients sensibly. There are times when work can pile up and would seem not to know what to do. Ability to manage time can make it easier to complete urgent and important tasks on time.
Also my kind of profession I am pursuing job requires skills to collaborate with other stakeholders to serve clients. Ability to negotiate will give sound results and give mutual value.
These skills are valuable for anyone who wants to succeed in life. Whatsoever your role; communication, time management, negotiation, understanding the legal and regulatory environment, ethics and continual development will help you succeed in that role.
I have all of these skills but they are not all at the expert level I would want to operate in, some are at intermediary levels. Thank you @learnwithdexa for the opportunity to improve on them.
In as much as all 6 areas are very crucial for a project manager to effectively and efficiently carry out tasks, I believe Communication is most important.
You need Communication in virtually all 6 categories and that is one area I am quite poor at and working on improving.
I am very good at time management, I meet deadlines and perform tasks on or before their due date and this comes to met naturally, I don’t struggle for it unlike Communication.
#DEXA, I am so so glad to be a part of this community and won’t take this opportunity for granted.
All the six skills are important in day to day activities. I’m seeking to improve in communication and time management skills. Thank you DEXA for the opportunity.
Gratitude to the Dexa Team for such a wonderful opportunity to be part of this cohort 17. Well as Compliance and patrol officer that manages a team of security guard for a top bank in Nigeria, frequently use some of this skills in my day to day activity with both my guards and my superiors. Communication is a vital skill in every organization today, effective communication plays a vital role in my day to day activity and this has help me to foster my relationship and influence with my guards and my superiors and also negotiation skills has helped my in tying to liase with guards in areas which might not be favorable to them but have to get the job done in a way so I have been to look for a win win situation where there wont be any form of grudges or in any way jeopardize the guards in carrying there job function. Prioritizing jobs has also been helping factor for me where by i have learn on the job on getting the most important task done as at when neccessary.
Areas needed for me for to gain more skills on are the knowledge of regulatory environment, and ethics and standards. ethics and standard of the security world is a continuous learning development for any one in this field because as the emerges so do the security ethics and standard changes. So I believe all this skills are transferable skills that are need ed in every organization and it is required by a project manager and this skill will help me as I transit into the project management worlds. All this skills will be a continuous development as I gain more experience on the job and I also plan to to get more certifications and even further get more education as I grow in the field of project management.
Thank you so much #Dexa for this opportunity, All the six areas are very essential for the job, from communication which is very important to know what is expected of you at each given time to negotiation then time management which is making the most of my time, to having knowledge about the regulatory environment, then the ethnics and standard , it’s very important to know the culture and values of the place you’re working, the standard being put in place decide how you behave in that setting and finally to have a mindset of continual learning and development
For me the areas I need to improve on especially are my communication and time management skills, in my work I realized that instead of making an assumption based on what is expected of you in any situation, it’s better to ask questions and my intentions are easily being misunderstood, so from what I have learnt so far I would develop the habit of listening and trying to see things from their perspective.
Better time management skills would do me good at this point in my work where you need to plan and organize everything before that day and I’m always been stressed out at the end of the day, it’s like juggling everything that’s supposed to happen in my mind, I need to be more organized and detailed and improve in this skill

Date of experience: July 20, 2024
When I get a job, I think I will have to communicate more because I usually tend to ignore excesses and lapses and try to do things myself, especially when there is a deadline or when I’m under pressure. But this doesn’t make it easy and so I have to work more on communicating with others to ensure everyone plays their part to make a “project” successful.

Regardless of our status, I have come to realize that, one way or the other we either participate in a project implementation or execute one. Through this engagement, we either meet expectations or get a poor performance and this is largely linked to how well or better equipped we are in project management.
Some of the Project Management skills identified in the course of study resonates well with me as a leader of a team of personnel working in one of our formations.
Collaboration with vendors implementing a critical project for the formation to aid policing remains crucial.
The ability to communicate project goals, identify, divide and perform tasks among team members, make or give updates on the progress of the project as well as provide time-based reports remain crucial towards a ensuring a good project delivery that meets client’s expectation.
There was a time I had to negotiate with vendors on pricing to save cost on the part of the sponsor
Sometime project bits get to experience little delay that may affect the initial time set for deliverables. However, the ability to adapt to changes, and communicate such changes across board is a good recipe for project continuity and eventual success.

In my current role as an Project manager, project management skills are crucial to my daily responsibilities.I also regularly engage in tasks that require these capabilities and competencies.
Knowledge of the Regulatory Environment: Understanding the regulatory landscape is important, especially when dealing with compliance issues and ensuring that all activities align with legal standards. While this isn’t my primary focus, I need to be aware of these aspects to support my organization effectively.
Ethics and Standards: Maintaining high ethical standards and adhering to professional guidelines is non-negotiable in my role. This ensures that all actions taken are in the best interest of the organization and its stakeholders.
Continuing Professional Development: Staying updated with the latest trends and best practices in administration and project management is essential. Continuous learning helps me bring new ideas and improvements to my role.
Communication: Effective communication is vital in my role. I coordinate with various departments and ensure that information flows smoothly within my team members and stakeholders of the project. Clear and concise communication helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps projects on track.
Negotiation: While negotiating contracts with various stakeholders, I often mediate between them, ensuring that everyone’s needs and expectations are met. This requires tactical and strategic ability to find mutually beneficial solutions.
Time Management: Managing the schedules of multiple projects simultaneously requires excellent time management skills. Prioritizing tasks and ensuring deadlines are met is a daily challenge that I must navigate efficiently.
Skill Gaps and Actions:
1. Continuing Professional Development: I intend to pursue certifications in project management, such as PMP or PRINCE2, to formalize my skills and knowledge.
2. Knowledge of the Regulatory Environment: I plan to take courses on regulatory compliance to deepen my understanding of this area.
By addressing these skill gaps, I aim to enhance my effectiveness as a better project manager and contribute even more to my organization’s success.
In my current job as an Administrative Secretary, all the above-mentioned skills apply in work environment, and I can say that I’m 90% proficient in all.
Communication: As people come to me for one thing or another, for me to proffer solution to their needs, I need to know how to communicate properly and in clear terms for them to understand.
Negotiation: If I’m asked, negotiation to some extent, is communcation-related. If it’s pricing, reaching and understanding, etc, good communication is needed. For the financial implications, many things ought to be weighed based on the availability of resources and the kind of project in question.
Time Management: Keeping to time helps bring more clients. Time management also involves being punctual. This helps give hope and life to your clients. Delivery of project on time is a whole ticket to have more potential clients.
Knowledge of the Regulatory Environment: Knowing the “Dos and Don’ts” of the Regulatory Body is very vital. It helps prevent one from going against the laid down rules and regulations. It helps one stay on the job, too.
Ethics and Standards: As someone who serves the public, you need not be told to conduct yourself in a positive manner. Be professional and work to portray yourself in the standard that’s generally accepted.
Continuing Professional Development: Just like the saying “Learning Never Ends”, always acquire new knowledge/skills. Also, considering the time we’re in, things change (upgrade) almost every day. How things were done in the last 20 years might not work out perfectly, now. Learn, unlearn and relearn!

*Communication Skill Gaps: A Project Manager’s Self-Assessment*
As a project manager, effective communication is crucial to ensure project success. However, I have identified some skill gaps in my communication skills that need improvement:
1. *Clear Articulation of Project Goals*: I sometimes struggle to clearly articulate project goals and objectives to team members, stakeholders, and clients. This can lead to misunderstandings and misaligned expectations.
2. *Active Listening*: I recognize that I need to improve my active listening skills to better understand the concerns and needs of team members, stakeholders, and clients.
3. *Timely Feedback*: I often delay providing feedback to team members, which can hinder their progress and motivation.
4. *Adapting Communication Style*: I need to work on adapting my communication style to suit different audiences, including team members, stakeholders, and clients with varying levels of technical expertise.
5. *Conflict Resolution*: I struggle to effectively resolve conflicts within the team, which can lead to delays and negatively impact project outcomes.
To address these skill gaps, I plan to:
– Attend communication skills training
– Practice active listening and clear articulation of project goals
– Set aside dedicated time for feedback and coaching
– Seek feedback from team members and stakeholders on my communication style
– Develop a conflict resolution framework for effective issue management
By acknowledging and addressing these communication skill gaps, I aim to become a more effective project manager and deliver successful projects.
Communication is very important in my role.
I work as Operations Manager in the Telecom Infrastructure Company. In that role I am expected to interface with the customer, contracting company. I am to communicate with them by sharing planned maintenance, giving progress reports, blocks and seeking their support when needed.
I have to come realize building relationships can help avoid confrontations and tone down on negative feedback to contracting company’s management and aid communication thereby reducing conflict which comes as a result of misunderstanding of intentions between my team and their team. It is all about being seen as the team that is making their life easier and helping them achieve set goals and targets and this cannot be achieved accept the teams are clear on what the goals and targets are and what is good performance is. This can only be achieved constant communication during the life cycle of the project at hand.
Negotiation is another of my key responsibility.
I am required to negotiate for my organization.
It is not easy task finding a balance between reasonable cost and acceptable quality.
Sometimes the other team feels and accuses you of just being after profit.
But in as much as I want my customers to be satisfied, I had to remind myself that part of that is also giving them the quality they need which costs money. Bearing in mind that the repair or refurbishment must last a minimum of ninety(90) days or we are required to fix it at our cost and the negative image it will give us.
As a Graphic designer Time management to me is one of those sets of kills to have in other to always stay ahead
as a pg, communication and negotiation skills are of a paramount interest to me .
As a Pharmacist working in the healthcare sector, all the skills listed are of great importance, though ethics and standards and communication stands out for me due to the fact that these projects deal with the health and wellbeing of individuals. Any professional misconduct or miscommunication may endanger the lives of individual. I need to hone my time management and negotiation skills while gaining more knowledge about the regulatory environment
I’m looking forward to improving my negotiation skills and my understanding of the regulatory environment.

Time management is very important, this include meeting up with the “turn around time” of every test results. Communication is important with your colleagues and with your patients, because we believe if there is no understanding, communication is not achieved and when it is not achieved this can lead to false positive or negative results especially with test that require special counseling.
In the aspect of negotiation, I know I need to improve. In conclusion, I am committed to improving my skills to becoming an effective and efficient project manager through this course. Thank you so much Dexa.

My name is Ogunna, Abraham Johnson.
As an Administrative personne & Human Resource manager Assistant.
To me, what I can piont out from the six relevant skill a project manager should have is:
1. Communication skill.
2. Ethics and adherence to standards.
3. Time management.
Hence; when the right strategy is applied in communication process, it ease work load amongst colleagues in the unit/department. It also brings Unity and peace.
Communication helps to focus on the job target and enable colleagues to support each other through daily work processes.
Nevertheless, through communication the Ethics and adherence to standards will be achieved.
However, in a standard organization the Ethics and standard are sacrosanct. It helps the vision and objectives of any organization to be achieved.
Lastly, Time management is the time keeper for employees to be efficient and effectively proactive in their day to day activities in order to achieve the lay down Goals of the organization.
In conclusion: I understood that the six relevant skills that a project manager is expected to have are all interwoven. And hence, can not be ignored as a project manager, especially when carrying out task.

This is because we can get several requests from say fraud or compliance department at almost same time and they keep following up with you because a customer is threatening the bank with court or a regulatory body or department is threatening to sanction the bank.
This can be tasking as a poor decision can lead to the bank loosing money which is not good for your job.

I have been able to work on my communication skills and I am currently working on my time management, Negotiation, knowledge of regulatory environment and continuing professional development skills. Hopefully by the end of this training I will be improved in all these areas.
I consider Time Management and Negotiation as a gap for me. This is so because of the speed of my work environment. The time it will take to negotiate with the members of the team on going in a particular direction may be wasted on negotiation. And because of that fear or perception, i tend to direct the work to someone else who may have less skills or get to do it by myself which may cause a delay on deliverables. But over time with improve communications skills, i am getting to know the way to speak to the other members of the team to see things their way and they seee thingsmy way, helping us to get ahead togetehr of any obstacle.

Hello! My name is Ayodele. I am a student yet to kickstart my professional life but I know that of the skills mentioned here, there are some that i have to improve upon such as time management, negotiation, understanding the regulatory environment and continual professional development.
I am Ojomo Ayodele Olaitan, i work as a breeding & production manager specifically (AI department) in an industralized poultry company speculation. The skills pertaining to my field are literally everything except negotiation, areas i would however like to improve on are, communication, time management, knowledge of regulatory environment and continual personal development.
In all the companies I’ve worked, one salient lesson I’ve learnt is to communicate to your workers at their level, be it their language or level of eduaction, most don’t even have a degree or ond or hnd so one must learn to not just talk but understand them as well. In the aspect of time management ofcourse timing is crucial in poultry rearing, i believe i will need to work hand in hand with my workers, have a plan of the tasks for the day and why we need to do those tasks at that specific time and what they would achieve by doing that tasks at that point in time. Knowledge of regulatory environment is crucial as well, one has to know the legal aspects of every business what to do and what not to do. Lastly, continual personal development is definitely a requirement for everyone in their different fields because of this technological age, things get outdated pretty fast, in my field there are courses, workshops, agricultural event centers this helps to sharpen one’s skills as keep you updated about the happenings on the field and ofcourse courses like this curated by DEXA is one i know will skyrocket my project management skills to the top.

Time management is also important to ensure tasks are completed efficiently. Additionally, ethics and standards are paramount to maintaining integrity in my interactions and outputs.
While I excel in these areas, I could improve my negotiation skills, particularly in situations where compromises need to be made or conflicting interests need to be reconciled. Furthermore, deepening my knowledge of the regulatory environment could enhance my ability to provide accurate and compliant guidance.
To address these skill gaps, I could seek out negotiation training programs or workshops to refine my techniques. Additionally, staying updated on regulatory changes through seminars or online courses would bolster my understanding in that area.
The six core set of skills Needed to be a successful Project Manager are highly valuable In carrying out my daily duties(Customer care/Supervisor)
However, the area I should improve on is in my Communication skills with my team members.
I can improve on this if I have more one on one conversation with team members to address issues that might likely pose a problem in future if left unattended to.
I should have more frequent meetings with them for appraisal of our strength and weakness as a team, and to brainstorm for progress.
To be successful in the aforementioned, I would need to improve in my relationship with them individually as that goes a long way to foster cooperation and understanding.

As a construction manager, all the mentioned project management skills are critical to successfully oversee and complete construction projects.
Communication is vital for coordinating with various project stakeholders. Clear instructions and regular updates ensure everyone is aligned with the project goals and objectives. Negotiation skills are crucial for discussing contracts, managing disputes, securing materials at the best prices, and ensuring favourable terms with subcontractors and suppliers. Effective time management ensures the project stays on schedule, meets deadlines, and efficiently coordinates the sequence of construction activities. Comprehensive knowledge of building codes, safety regulations, zoning laws, and environmental regulations is critical to ensuring compliance and avoiding legal issues. Adhering to ethical practices and industry standards ensures quality, safety, and integrity in all project dealings. This includes fair treatment of workers and honesty in financial matters. Keeping abreast of new construction methods, materials, technologies, and management practices helps improve efficiency and project outcomes.
However, there is a need to improve communication, negotiation, and time management skills. While generally strong, there could be gaps in adapting communication styles to different stakeholders or in utilising modern communication technologies such as BIM effectively. Further development might be needed in advanced negotiation techniques, especially in high-stakes or complex contract negotiations. Although crucial, there could be gaps in optimising project scheduling software or handling unexpected delays and resource reallocation efficiently, as a delay in a project timeline results in increased costs and damages the reputation of the project team.
As a young graduate engineer in today’s country’s economy, one thing very difficult to achieve for me as a co project manager is the power of nagoitiation.

I need a profound solution from people who would have been in similar situation before or if you have idea of the solution please reach out to me I will appreciate. 08037891618

At times due to empathizing with the team (labor), I tend to favor them over the client especially when it is finances involved.
I need to learn to strike a balance between both parties by
. Finding out what the client can offer and how structured or flexible they can be
. Find a way to make this demands accepted or rejected and find a way to get both parties to agree on a common ground in not only a timely but satisfactory way.
In my previous role as a fleet manager skills such as time management, negotiation, communication, understanding the regulatory environment, ethics and adherence to standards and continuous professional development are all essential for my job.

1. Set goals correctly (Set goals that are achievable and measurable)
2. Prioritize wisely
3. Set a time limit to complete a task
4. Take a break between task
5. Organize myself
6. Remove non-essential tasks/activities
7. Plan ahead.

It made a lot of difference in my professional skill and as helped me perform better in my present role.
ASSIGNMENT BY IKECHUKWU NWAFOR.
COMMUNICATION
Communication is essential in project management for planning and executing the project for the purpose of achieving the organizational goals and objectives, managing risks and issues,and for delivering pertinent project information to the stakeholders.
It is crucial to conduct an audit to determine the gaps in communication that need to be closed in order to prevent misunderstandings.
Create a communication matrix that lists all the relevant communication channels, how often the information will be conveyed, and who would be the target audience.
Establish expectations for convergence and properly apply the use of the instruments such as emails, messages, and video conferences.
It requires that managers organize periodic meetings as well as one-on-one checkups in order to establish a platform for saying the difficult things. As for the communication, which is one of the key issues mentioned by the authors, it is needed to offer the staff to learn more about communication skills and to use other means such as Gantt chart and dashboard for their updates.
Ongoing Planning for Feedback: Develop feedback systems, appoint a coordinating officer, use technology, document and disseminate knowledge, consider the targeted group, and review communication methods and the process constantly.
In my past and current roles, I’ve recognized that my communication and negotiation skills need improvement, which has significantly impacted both my work ethics and social life. To overcome this, I have adopted several proactive strategies. I practice morning and evening pep talks, express myself more openly, engage in conversations with new people, watch helpful videos, and meditate regularly. These efforts are steadily enhancing my abilities and boosting my confidence in both professional and personal settings.

I am taking the necessary steps to improve on those skills by studying the right communication and negotiation skills.
I’m quite sure that some of these skills have been acquired but not yet mastered. To close the gaps, I should dedicate some time for continuing studies to go over relevant materials again and again so as to master and become familiar with the skills.
All six areas are very much important to look but the ones I believe is mostly important for my job as an entrepreneur is communication,negotiation and continual professional development. So in order for to be the very best and desired person in my field, consciously and deliberately building myself daily is highly needed.

I know that it may not be easy, but it’s going to be worth it in the end.

In order for any project manager to succeed, communication needs to be effective and frequent. Negotiation guarantees that each party receives the appropriate financial rewards, and time management is essential for project managers since it keeps them alert. Understanding the regulatory environment is crucial to preventing harm to the regulatory body and the environment during the process. It’s also important to maintain the reputation of the manager by not lowering standards, which have brought them this far. Finally, the steady growth of the professional field supports the adage that there’s always room for improvement.
I need to bridge the gap in continual professional development by acquiring more professional certifications.
My Job role and experience has sharpened my Communication, Negotiation, Time management, Knowledge of Regulatory environment and ethics and standards skills..
But i believe there is room for more knowledge
My name is Iwuchukwu Sylvia.
I would like to bridge the gap in my negotiation skills as this is paramount in collaborating with people within any workspace. If i am the negotiator, i will ensure there are guidelines for the discussion and that both sides stick to them. To do this, I will need to have clear goals that will guide me in strategizing and staying focused. Listening actively and paying close attention to what the other party is saying will enable me gain insights into the other party’s priorities and concerns. I will also need to learn the art of compromise as negotiations are about give and take. This newly formed agreements will be outlined in written documents for future references.
For me as a project manager I think I need to have a good time management and a good negotiable skill.
For me to be an effective project manager I would need to work on these areas *Knowledge of the regulatory environment
* Ethics and standards
* Continuing professional development. There is nothing like having a good time management skill, communication, and a good negotiation skill
Communication, negotiation, time management, understanding the regulatory environment, ethics and adherence to standards as well as continual professional development are very vital as a project manager.
I think I need to improve on professional development by reading more articles and taking more certification courses.
In my profession, i already possess strong communication skills, necessary for clients consultation. Negotiation skills could come into play when discussing rates with clients or suppliers. Time management is crucial for scheduling appointments with clients. Knowledge of the regulatory environment may be needed regarding cosmetic safety standards. Ethics and standards are essential for maintaining professionalism and trust with clients. Continuing professional development ensures i stay updated with the latest trends and techniques. To address any skill gaps, i might consider taking courses or workshops specifically focused on negotiation, regulatory compliance, and professional development.
Effective communication skills is very essential for my job because, the way I should communicate with my team is the way the job can be done properly.
The areas I need to improve as a project manager is in Time Management. And doing it in the following ways can greatly help my team;
A project manager can cultivate their time management skills by:
1. Setting up ones goals clearly and priorities: Establishing a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished and focusing on high-priority tasks.
2. Using an organizing or a scheduling tool: examples like; calendars, planners, or apps to organize and allocate time for tasks and activities.
3. Breaking tasks into smaller chunks: Dividing large tasks into smaller, manageable pieces for each person in the team will greatly help to reduce overwhelm and increase productivity.
4. Estimating work duration: Accurately estimating the time required for each task to create realistic schedules.
5. Avoiding multitasking: Focusing on a single task at a time will greatly help one to maintain concentration and efficiency.
6. Minimizing distractions: Identifying and eliminating or limiting interruptions, such as muting social media or email notifications will help in concentration.
7. Taking breaks: Scheduling regular breaks; especially when you feel exhausted, will help you to recharge and maintain productivity
8. Learning to say no: Setting boundaries and politely declining non-essential tasks that can derail one’s focus on important tasks.
9. Delegating tasks: Assigning tasks to team members who are capable will help to free up time for high-priority activities.
10. Continuously evaluating and adjusting: Regularly assessing time management strategies and making adjustments as at when needed.
11. Using technology to automate continuous tasks and streamline the processes and methods.
12. Prioritizing self-care: Getting enough sleep, exercise, and healthy habits to maintain energy and focus better.
By implementing these strategies as project manager, I can enhance my time management skills, leading to increased productivity, reduced stress, and successful project delivery.
1. Time Management:
This is very important for all types of jobs. Allocating tasks to time frames.
2. Communication
This is the most important aspect of any organization, every information needs to be communicated to every one involved in any organization for goals to be achieved.

As a professional, I’ve reflected on my current role and identified the project management skills required to excel in my position. While I may not be a traditional project manager, my job demands skills in the following areas:
1. Communication: Effective communication is crucial in my role, as I need to collaborate with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and clients.
2. Time management: Prioritizing tasks, managing deadlines, and allocating resources efficiently are essential to meet project timelines and deliver results.

Upon reflection, I’ve identified skill gaps in the following areas:
1. Negotiation: While I possess basic negotiation skills, I need to develop advanced negotiation techniques to effectively manage stakeholder expectations and conflicts.
2. Ethics and standards: Although I’m familiar with industry ethics and standards, I need to deepen my understanding and stay updated on emerging trends and best practices.
To address these skill gaps, I plan to take the following actions:
1. Seek training and workshops on advanced negotiation techniques and conflict resolution.
2. Attend industry conferences and webinars to enhance my knowledge of ethics and standards.
3. Pursue certifications or courses that focus on project management, negotiation, and ethics.
4. Seek mentorship from experienced professionals who can offer guidance and support.
5. Apply new skills and knowledge to real-world projects and scenarios to reinforce learning and build confidence.
By addressing these skill gaps, I aim to enhance my project management skills, boost my professional growth, and deliver exceptional results in my role.
Taking trainings and attending conferences will greatly help you to improve in the areas you are lagging behind.
Thank you for this great contribution. I learnt something from this.
All stills are essential but communication is the most important. I realize I need to improve on :

Knowledge of the regulatory environment, ethics and standard and continuing professional Development are essential for my job.
Continuing professional development, Ethics and standard, s one key area I do want to improve on.
Steps to take to bridge the gap are listed below:
. Join communities of Project Managers.
. Go out for more national conferences that contribute to the general impact of business.
. Go for more professional and advanced courses.
Communication is key in any relationship in order to achieve the desired goals, it must be at regular intervals and punchy, negotiation ensures all parties get their financial benefits right, while time management is imperative as a project manager as it keeps one on his toes. Understanding the regulatory environment ensures the regulatory body and the environment aren’t hurt in the process and afterwards, not lowering one’s standard which has brought the manager this far is also important in ensuring the reputation doesn’t falter, finally the steady growth in the professional field to back up the saying that there’s always room for improvement are all important factors to be considered
effective time management and ensuring prompt tasks allocation,likewise communication between the team and the management
Communication and Negotiation skills are very key to the nature of my job because of my dealings with clients and other internal stakeholders. Adapting and Managing the style of my communication to suit different scenarios has helped me to achieve my goals ensuring that stakeholders are on the same page and are aligned.
As a Health Educator, all of the skills are very important in my field.
Communication is needed in order to pass information to individuals in a way that they would understand properly, Negotiation too because in certain times the individuals find it hard to believe what you tell them, therefore you’ll have to explain some more in order for them to get the bigger picture which leads to an agreement.
Time management because you’ll have to work with the time frame in passing your message to individuals trying as much as possible not to exceed time limit, understanding the regulatory environment as there are rules guiding every team, for instance; a group of health educators are sent to sensitize students in a school about personal hygiene, they make plans concerning how they’ll speak, who introduced the topic, who concludes e.t.c. Also there are rules guiding health educators in a medical organisation or school
Ethics and adherence to standard; Standards are set which must be met as health educators work towards bettering our health and lastly, continual professional development as learning is a continual process and for us health educators, there are a lot of certifications that can be obtained.

My job requires me to have all the skills listed especially communication and time management.
Of all the skills, where I seem to be lagging is Negotiation. I’ve not really had need to engage core stakeholders on negotiation matters. However, I feel like I need to improve on it for future purposes. After this, I will take a short course on negotiation.
From my perspective as a project manager, I have realized that one of the most essential skills required in project management is effective communication. Clear and concise communication is crucial in ensuring that all team members are on the same page and working towards a common goal.
Upon reflection, I have identified some skill gaps in the areas of negotiation, time management, and knowledge of the regulatory environment. I believe that by enhancing my negotiation skills, improving my time management techniques, and gaining a deeper understanding of the regulatory environment, I can become a more effective project manager.
To address these skills gap, I am considering enrolling in a negotiation skills workshop, taking a time management course, and attending training sessions on regulatory compliance. Additionally, I plan to actively seek out opportunities for professional development and continue learning and growing as a project manager.
Communication is an essential skill in project management, my deficiency in good communication skill could be addressed first by having a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere for my team, making everyone see the need to communicate and feel happy doing so. On my own part, i should be able to communicate effectively and clearly the goal, targets and everything that has to do with the project as this would give everyone on the team a clear picture of what is expected of them. I also should be open minded in receiving feedbacks.
Negotiation skill is also another area i should build solidly as a PM. Understanding the best approach to the project under negotiation, how to win for my team and also a win for the second party i.e a win-win situation. Having strong negotiation skill is s vital tool to being a successful PM.
Time management. I should adopt to time journaling and taking note of my achievements per day, week or month depending on which would serve better for the project.
All the six areas mentioned above are essential for my current job. However, improving on communication and Negotiation is an aspect i will love to build on and i am confident that after this bootcamp there would be a drastic change in the way i communicate whilst on a project, and skills to negotiate with other contractors on the project or client when the need arises or in terms of Variation.
Communication & negotiation skills are the most important skills in my current role. I am always learning how to do them better by watching videos by experts in the field and reading relevant books and articles on these topics.
In my present job i personally feel that all the skills are required and I need need to improve on them to ensure that I carry every stakeholder along and meet up target goals and budget and get the necessary satisfaction.
Learning increases functional ability and develops an awareness of tasks and ways of doing them with precision
As medical personel i believe all skills are required especially in the area of communication. Dealing with community of people with different languages, thoughts and believes. Being able to communicate to them in a way they’ll understand should be one of the key role. Personally i need to improve in this area.
As a School Administrator, all these- Communication

The questions are relevant.
To answer, I can say that currently, I’m helping to implement a major project in my region. I can tell you that the 6 areas defined are important and equally important.
As it stands, my job requires a lot of communication. What’s more, you have to be a good negotiator to get the support of the decision-makers in the countries involved, and meet the deadlines.
However, I am aware that we need to improve our knowledge and understanding of the regulatory environment, especially as it often varies from one country to another, depending on whether we are in an Anglo-Saxon or a Romano-Germanic legal system.
Thanks a lot.

Considering the six areas outlined, I think my job demands that I have all the skills. Currently, apart from communication and time management skills, I need to acquire the remaining skills. Hopefully, at the end of this course I will obtain sufficient knowledge and information that will help me possess the required skills.

Communication skill is something you don’t need to joke with, as all projects’ dates and timelines needs to be documented and followed through with team members.
As an Executive Assistant and Corporate Communications Officer, I need to constantly hone my communication and negotiation skills while also building on my time management skills. These skills are important because they facilitate effective interaction and a healthy relationship with both my boss and colleagues.
I would say all because I am a beginner and I have no prior knowledge of project management but I want to learn the skill.

As an aspiring project manager the six skills are the main holders to having and completing and good project.
In my current profession in Human Resources administration, all six skills are essential and I’ve been able to apply them all only to an extent b but not in the depth that is required. My areas of improvement and reinforcement will be in understanding regulatory environment, and ethics and adherence to standards. It is usually a challenge in an environment plagued with corruption and eye service where compliance to ethical standard is downplayed in exchange for maximizing profit. However, to make progress and impact, it is necessary to emphasize the need for compliance and sell it’s wins to management while projecting the result as a brand that is associated with integrity and trust.
In my current job, the six project Manager’s skills are very very imperative. Starting from Communication, because it’s a vital key for a Project Manager. Looking at Time Management, everyone (Project Managers) must ensure he/she manages time effectively. So as an upcoming Project Manager, I have to ensure that am well equipped with more skills of which am working towards.

In my present Job (Health Care System), professionals require the following skills for effective care delivery:

As a professional I am also tasked with ethical standards to hold, in order to ensure respect for persons and professionalism in dealing with clients therefore I’ll engage in continues professional development to learn, relearn and unlearn where necessary.
Mentorship is another means to develop in these gaps for personal growth and proficiency

My Role requires the six steps . I need to improve on time management. The lapse in time management occurs mainly due to clients’ interference
In my current Job all the above skills are important but effective communication and negotiation is paramount, which can become challenging when facing mounting pressure from clients and the work environment. This demands strong time management and multitasking skills, which can be overwhelming. In an effort to navigate this difficulty while upholding work ethics and standards, I have occasionally found it necessary to deviate from established protocols to address urgent concerns promptly. However, it’s essential to strike a balance between flexibility and adherence to guidelines. Maintaining a positive mental state is crucial in these situations, as it allows me to approach problem-solving with determination while avoiding becoming personally offended by clients’ frustrations.
All the 6 areas are vital in being a successful project manager. For me who’s just starting a career, I will begin with communication, negotiation and time management.

So these skill sets play a big role in our jobs and executing projects successfully. As a company, we go the extra mile to get things done rightly and as professionally as possible and I love it here so far.

Ethics and adherence to standard as it is very vital and crucial in any given environment.
Going through the skills a PM should have, I think the major and most important skills here is communication. Communication goes a long way in anything as it leads to success on the project.
One of the skills I would need an improvement is on ethics and adherence to standards and a continuous development professionally
Haven, contemplated on the six fundamental skills, a good PM should have. I found myself lagging in the below three, even on my present job role. Which are, Time management, Negotiation and Continual professional development.

In communicating with my client in the field I would need to know their the most pressing needs and see on how to come in in addressing it.
Also I will have to follow suit with community engagement getting consent from the various stakeholders which will help me to see how this their needs can be met.
However, as it involves different community with different ethnic and religious beliefs I would need to address the needs squarely putting this different beliefs into consideration.
In my current role as a Further Mathematics tutor, the six areas listed are already of utmost importance. I can explain further thus:
Communication – For you to get your message across to kids who have little or no mathematical background, you need to know how to break complex information down into steps to aid their understanding. Between your colleagues and the management of my parent organization, proper communication is also a key factor in my performance. I also took up the role of an IT support personnel and organized symposiums to further train the teachers and and management on the use of modernized teaching and office methods.
Negotiation- I have taken up site supervision for buildings before and negotiation is a crucial part of it as regards procurement of materials and payment of workers. Though this is the least focused aspect of the six in my line of academic work, I employ some of the methods in handling my students and the class environment. The aim of teaching is for the learner to understand. I always negotiate with the kids on incentives when they hit a milestone set by me in their learning program. Although for a project manager, I have to learn the various ways of negotiating in the real world to help make my job easier.
Time management – It goes without saying that teachers are good time managers. Everything done in the school environment is regimented and has a deadline. So prioritization comes easy.
Understanding the regulatory environment- As an educator taking care of children entrusted to your care by other parents, there are rules and regulations in handling them. There are lines we do not cross no matter what the child does, be it in class or outside the classroom. The same applies to a project manager.
Ethics and adherence to standards- Maintaining of standards and following the ethics of the profession is how one progresses. As a site supervisor, the ratio of the mixture of sand, Cement and gravel are not to be compromised. It is my duty to make sure the building is up to standard according what the client requested. Anything less leads to second-guessing of my abilities.
Continual professional development- It is important as a teacher and also as a site supervisor to be abreast of the current trends and professional developments in order to remain relevant in my fields.
Conclusively I will love to also improve on these skills to be a certified project manager.
I am currently a digital marketing consultant and also a Sales Manager. Over the years I have horned skills in communication, time management, negotiation, ethics and adherence to standards. The application of these skills have helped me become productive and gain success in the organizations I have worked.

Nevertheless, I will love to improve in understanding the regulatory environment and continual professional development because regulation of laws and practices my vary depending on each firm and country. Also, as the world is changing and advancing it is required of us not to be left behind hence, we ought to take on opportunities to be relevant in the society of rapid change in the work force.

I negotiate with service providers and vendors to get products/service within budgets without compromising on quality. Likewise I require all the other skills in the course of carrying out my responsibilities.
The area I believe I need to improve more on is Time management -I need to learn how to create and adhere to a time schedule plan, and constantly remove distractions trying to eat into my time.
Some steps I am taking to bridge this gap include:
-Reading books and materials on time management
-practising what I’m learning from these books and materials
-working on my discipline to adhere to my set goals in time management
-making myself accountable as I work on this area.

Communication is an essential part of project management and this can not be underrated.
In my current line of work, communication and time management plays an important role in our day-to-day activities. This is because we have to meet up with set targets/goals,communicate and give report on work done and to get feedback. More so, having a good understanding of the regulatory environment is very important as it gives a guide on the relevant rules, regulations, and policies in place. Every profession has ethics and standards that guides their way of conduct and this makes them act professionally in all dealing with clients. We learn everyday and thus, the need for continous professional development. I will have to improve in my negotiation skill in order to make a win win agreement from both sides rather than a bargain for just one party.
Personally I believe communication is vital and I solemnly need to improve in this particular area.
I consider it to be the first key to open other doors because without effective communication there can never be any progress to move to another step in any project.
Communication is important in any field of endeavor. I will pay any price to improve my communication alongside emotional intelligence.
In my present profession, continual professional development will always give me an edge of productivity.
Time is life, hence I need to improve on my time management skill.

As the Group General Manager of a group of 7 companies spanning across the healthcare and hospitality industries, I have often found myself a bit behind in understanding the ethics and the standards I am meant to adhere to, on account of the fact that I am lawyer by training. An effort I have made to bridge this gap is to join the professional bodies that regulate activities in the industries and also to join in stakeholders’ discussions in both industries. This exposes me to the contents of the code of professional conduct and the culture, customs and practices in those industries. I consider this also a necessary part of my continuing professional development as it is not only necessary for me grow as a project manager; I need to improve in my specific industry as I have seen that the choice of industry invariable affects my ability to earn.

Project management is a unique career, and I believe that I requires all six, i.e., communication, negotiation, time management, understanding the regulatory environment, ethics and adherence to standards, and continual professional development. I consider myself lucky that, with over 15 years in project management, I only lack two of these skills: understanding the regulatory environment, ethics, and adherence to standards. I find this to be challenging, and I think I need to bridge the gap by enrolling in free project management courses in the two areas. I believe once I bridge that gap I will become proficient in project management and someone who will be highly chased around by recruiters.
The gap i am having is negotiation skills, and knowing now that i need to understand the economic aspects involved in the negotiation, will definitely change my negotiation skill for the best.

Identify your role’s project management skills
As someone who works in the health and safety sector, communication and adherence to ethics and standards is of most important. Clear and precise communication helps improve the quality of work and proper ethics shows professionalism.
On my part, I’d further improve on professional development to aid proper flow of work.
The major way to identify my role’s project management skills is to embed the communication and time management skills to the existing business. We plan things without the need for timely communication skills. This inturn makes the project to take a while, as we are basically concerned about achieving success and not mindful of the time spent on the project. I would henceforth instigate the use of time management and communication skills to improve organizational performance.
“Identify your role’s project management skills”
As a leader of a religious Organization, I understand that communication is very key and that adequate time should be spent on communicating with those working with me and those under me in a variety of ways. The method of communication is as important as the message I intend passing. This I do by creating atmosphere conducive for free flow of communication as well as being empathic in my way and manner of communicating.
Also continuing profession development is very important if I will get an effective and maximum result. This I do by attending courses related to my job and studying online to develop and further sharpen my skills for maximum result.

Talking from the experiences of the 3 project Managers, I can say categorically that communication, team management, organizational skills, and technical skills are important tools for successful project management.

Reflecting on these skills entails monitoring and evaluating my performance to build on my strengths, and recognize and improve on weaknesses I have identified. Assessment, and taking action on set- goals are important as well as monitoring progress. The skills gap required is improving communication skills, being an active listener, and reading or taking courses on communication techniques. Time mgt can be improved by using various tools available to take track of time, setting a realistic time frame and ensuring it’s SMART. Staying focused can entail taking breaks at times to refresh and be productive.

It is also very important to communicate in the most easiest language that can be understood by all involved in carrying out the tasks required. Time management helps to prioritize the most important thing that should be done at the appropriate time.

While continual professional development helps a Project Manager or a career oriented individual to always improve and devop their knowledge more so as to advance in thier respective field which also helps to make the job more easier to perform.
All the skills are essential but some are just more important than the others. Communication skill should be prioritized because that’s the bane of any relationship and since we relate to the stakeholders involved, there is need for us to communicate well in a way that one can easily understand. Also being an active listener. I need to improve on time management and later have a continual professional development.
Communication is a major skill needed in any area because effective communication breeds understanding and makes the people involved to be informed.
Time management is also an important skill because it helps one to prioritize since one knows that they have limited time to complete a project or an assignment or a job.
Every career path and job has it’s own ethics and code of conduct that helps to build you.

Personally, i take my communication and time management skills seriously. Life is all about give and take and to attain a certain level, you need ideas and to make bring others into your idea, you need to learn how to effectively communicate to them. To sell your idea, you need a means to communicate it.
Also, time management is very important for me as an individual. At my present place of work, there are several tasks that needs to be achieved at a limited time, this way, i have to plan and also manage my time effectively to achieve my goals.
Project management being a different world entirely, I will need to improve in these skills so that every project objective would be achieved always.

I can also improve time management skill by working with sticky notes , to-do lists and some other tools that keep me on my feet in order to achieve a positive result on my project.
In terms of the six areas of project management skills, I would say that communication, negotiation, and time management are especially important for a new entry civil engineer.

Practicing these skills will help become a more effective communicator.
As for negotiation, may want to work on developing conflict resolution skills, as well as ability to compromise and find solutions that are beneficial to all parties involved.

Additionally, could practice negotiation skills in low-stakes situations, such as negotiating a lower price on a purchase or negotiating a raise with your boss. This will help become more comfortable with the process and more confident in the ability to negotiate effectively.
Time management can be improved by using tools such as a task list, calendar, or project management software to help you stay organized and on track.

As a law student and a lawyer to be, all the essential listed above are of crucial importance. However, am interested in building my skill on time management, good communication, and negotiation.
This is because, no matter the profession you find yourself, if you don’t know how to manage your time you will be lacking behind and will be feed up with loads of task. Communication is also of necessity. Poor communication skills could chase away prospective or ultimate client. I believe as a lawyer, you ought to know how best to communicate to your client and get useful information from them which will help in the defence or trial of such a person. Finally, negotiation plays a vital role in getting your professional fee as a lawyer. It is important to have good negotiation skill, especially if you want to venture into the Alternative Dispute Resolution sector which is quite different from litigation.
As a counsel in a project team in an area I am not really familiar with, I believe continual professional development is essential, in order to acquire new skills and knowledge in relation to the sector in which I am working.

Also as a project manager you need time management skills. If a project manager does not have time management skills then his integrity might be at stake and he won’t be taken serious. As a project manager you must also inculcate the habit of having to-do as this help in reminding you of things that has to be done and not skipping or leaving a process. A project manager also needs to learn to plan every day of the week as this help to keep track of time.
Good communication in any organizations help employees, productivity improves by up to 30 percent. Proper communication at work helps in maximizing productivity and also, the managers can properly understand the talent and skills of the workers. As a result, it helps in providing a proper direction to work effectively.

However, continual professional development is one aspect that needs to be worked on by proactively addressing this skill gap through targeted actions and seeking support from peers and mentors. Some of the potential steps I’ve decided to take in bridging this gap include;
Establish measurable goals for my professional development that are in line with my
interests and career ambitions.
Create a professional development plan outlining actionable steps and timelines for
achieving goals.
Maintain a continuous improvement trajectory by periodically reviewing progress and
modifying the professional development plan as necessary.
Negotiation and time management. Better negotiation in order to do a good job and time management that is meeting deadlines and working effectively within time frames.
As a research assistant, communication, ethics, adherence to standards, and the need for continual development cannot be overemphasized. Every chance I get is one I use to upskill. Taking extra courses that pushes me ahead is one I always have to do, and need to do. Little by little, I know I will get there.
To continue in professional development, should not only be in abstract learning, it should be more of practicals. A person’s involvement in projects management over and over makes you a professional because of the experiences one has gathered which is the best way to continue professional development to me personally. So by the end of the course I’m open collaborations.
communication, I believe adds value to a project, helping the project manager to stay on track {keep contact}. communication takes many forms to be effective, you need to consider not only the message you want to pass on but also the method of communicating. I am still developing my communication skill though.
continuing professional development is a great skill that needs to be developed, it opens you more to learning, it helps you improve your knowledge on the profession so as to remain relevant and not outdated

Negotiation skills are necessary for teachers and leaders so that they can mediate, reconcile and possibly arbitrate attendant issues that come up from time to time.

PM means a variety of things to different individuals. It’s like the two side of a coin. You only name the part you see. I have learnt the basics of project management which commence from the traditional function of PM: Overseeing the successful functionality of a project.
It is note worthy that PM transcends beyond overseeing a project. To start with, you must be fully aware of the constraints of project management which are; Scope, Quality, Risk, Time, Cost, and Resources and that extends to the key focus areas which span from scope, schedule, to stakeholders. All these, have summarized that PM is a wide concept.
Also, during the process of learning, I have realized there are different methods to approach projects.
Further more, there are principles of project management which aren’t just for PM but to all other aspects of management.
As a PM, you must understand that a project doesn’t commences with tools, rather it start from your mind and then extend. You are the master mind of the success.
You must be empathic, beyond the general meeting, you must build relationships with your team members to foster the smooth running of your projects.
Also, having honest conversation with your clients and major stakeholders will help in delivering well.
Have a clear cut firm on your team.
Lastly, a project manager should know what skills to master.
There are absolutely a lot to write about but this is a honest summary.
I’m learning a lot from this programme and I love it.

It is also important to enforce standard but one would first have to know the basics of these standards in order to understand what appropriate ones need to be applied. In general, a vast knowledge base is required and as this training puts it, the project manager is more system oriented than being “specialized” because the PM need s to look at the total picture.

Negotiation is a skill I will love to develope
Communication is essential for project managers because they need to be able to communicate effectively with a variety of stakeholders, including team members, clients, and managers. They need to be able to clearly articulate project goals, keep everyone updated on progress, and resolve conflicts.

I think that there are a few things that I can do to address my skill gaps in time management. First, I can create a more detailed project plan and track my progress more closely. Second, I can set realistic deadlines and break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable ones. Third, I can learn to delegate tasks more effectively.
I think that by addressing my skill gaps in time management, I can become a more effective project manager. I am confident that I can learn and grow in this area, and I am committed to becoming the best project manager that I can be.
Here are some additional actions that I could take to address my skill gaps:
*Take a time management course or workshop.
*Read books or articles on time management.
*Talk to other project managers about their time management strategies.
*Set aside time each week to review my progress and make adjustments to my plan as needed.

Thanks so much for this important information, i am really appreciative
My current job requires that I be an effective communicator as it is important in dealing with colleagues, executives, clients as well as everyone I encounter on a daily basis. In the same vein, negotiation and time management skills are also necessities in enabling effective performance at my job. Also, continual professional development can not be over emphasised because as the world evolves, new ideas and knowledge for effective execution of the job comes to play just like in project management where every project manager needs to know and understand how to use the tools and softwares available for helping them perform better at their jobs.
The skills I need to improve on are:
1.) Negotiation.
2.) Time management.
The potential steps I might consider taking to bridge these skills gap are:
1.) Understanding how important communication is, I will always want to communicate ideas and expectations with anyone I work with as well as receive their inputs.
2.) Working on becoming a better negotiator by understanding and addressing situations from a point where it favours both parties involved.
3.) Harnessing scheduling as an important way to work on time management and sticking to it despite the odds, challenges and changes along the line.
4.) Having meetings to communicate with the people you work with on the progress made and possible challenges they may be facing on their job.
Communication is essential in project management for several reasons:
1. Clear and effective communication helps in setting expectations and objectives. It ensures that all team members understand their roles, responsibilities, and project goals.
2. Communication facilitates collaboration and teamwork. When team members can communicate effectively, they can share ideas, opinions, and feedback, which leads to better decision-making and problem-solving.
3. Communication helps in managing stakeholders. Keeping stakeholders informed about the project’s progress, risks, and updates helps in building trust and maintaining good relationships.
4. Proper communication helps in managing conflicts. By having open and transparent communication channels, issues and conflicts can be addressed promptly, minimizing their potential impact on the project.
Negotiation is a critical skill in project management because:
1. It helps in managing conflicts and resolving disputes. Inevitably, disagreements and conflicts arise during projects. Negotiation skills allow project managers to find common ground and reach agreements that satisfy all parties involved.
2. Negotiation helps in managing stakeholder expectations. Project managers often have to negotiate with stakeholders to align their expectations with the project’s scope, timeline, and resources.
3. Effective negotiation leads to win-win solutions. By understanding the needs and interests of different stakeholders, project managers can find creative solutions that benefit all parties involved.
Time management in project management is important because:
1. It helps in setting realistic project schedules. Effective time management allows project managers to accurately estimate the time required to complete tasks and determine project timelines.
2. Time management ensures that project tasks are completed on schedule. By prioritizing tasks, allocating resources efficiently, and monitoring progress, project managers can avoid delays and meet project deadlines.
3. It helps in resource allocation. Effective time management allows project managers to allocate resources based on project priorities and ensure that the right resources are available at the right time.
4. Time management allows for better risk management. By carefully managing time and scheduling, project managers can identify potential risks and take proactive measures to mitigate them before they become major issues.
Effective communication is crucial for project managers to convey goals, expectations, and changes to team members, stakeholders, and clients. I have a communication skill gap, and I feel focusing on enhancing my ability to articulate ideas, listen actively, and convey information clearly could significantly benefit me in any role. Leadership skills are often intertwined with effective communication. We should all focus on inspiring and guiding our team, making decisions with confidence, and fostering a positive and collaborative work environment.
As an introvert, person I am sure I will need to improve on my communication skills. As a good project manager one should be able to to communicate clearly and directly with team members. And be sure that you are not hiding any information. With effective communication, the project will be done and done ontime.
CPD, Is a process which helps in developing and improving one’s professional practice.
Time management, on the other hand is also am important part of PM. I believe if we are able to manage our time as a team..projects will be done on time and there will be time for more brainstorming before finally delivering the work done. Every project needs an end date, inorder to meet this date..Every projects needs a schedule and a plan on how to manage their time and ensure deadline is met.
Negotiation, negotiation skills is very essential in P. With strong negotiation skills project managers will be able to secure the necessary resources, and manage team members and also manage stakeholders expectations.
Understanding, the regulatory environment will help in understanding the environment in which they are operating.
Ethics and adherence to standard in project management, consists of transparency, honesty and communication. Project managers must exhibit integrity and commit to open communication, truthfulness, fairness and possess a strong ethical conduct. By, showcasing these principles they create an environment of trust among stakeholders involved in the project.
CPD, helps project managers stay updated with current trends, best practices and tools in the PM field. Ones development in PM will continue throughout ones career and you must make a commitment to keeping up to date with latest good practice within the profession.
As a PM, all the aforementioned skills are very important to be a successful one at that. I consider first and foremost the communication skills. It is very important that you effectively communicate clearly with your teams and clients in such away that they clearly understand. Communication is very important at each stage of the project so that everyone is carried along. I break down in communication can be disastrous or slow the pace of the project.
Every other skills are like Wise important if well harnessed, will lead to overall success of the entire project.
I will work on improving my communication and continual development skills.
Communication is most important in preparation, execution and completion of a project ,for everyone to know their roles in a project it most be state clearly either verbally or written to ensure everyone is in same page
As a PM i must know that communication is a two way and involves dialogue as there should be room for concerns,ideas and feedbacks
There must be clarity and conciseness , informations must be in an understandable form using visuals if need be.
Communication requires multiple channels like face to face, emails project management softwares. And these depends on the urgency , sensitivity and relevance of the information
As a project manager i should keep my team abreast of progress, milestones ,changes and any challenge
I must be a conflict resolution person ,not finger pointing anyone but as a mediator open to dialogue to resolve issues constructively
I believe I need communication skills, time management, negotiation and continuing professional development skill for my job as a project manager.
Firstly, I need to improve my communication skills and also work towards being well outspoken and fluent. Then also try to manage my time, and improve my negotiation and continuing professional development skill so as to be a good project manager.

Whether you are a project Manager or an Entrepreneur , startup founder or SME owner the six skills gap are needed for you . As a head of a mission driven – organization I used the six skills gap
everyday couple with good STRATEGY as number seven skill needed by project managers
Communication and negotiation skills are very important in my job as a civil engineer. I would like to refine my communication skills.

In my past job as a Head of Operations in a Bank, all six skills were attributes I used which made me effective as an Operations Head for six years.
– Communication. It was a daily activity on the job. I communicated with bank customers and colleagues regularly, ensuring that customers’ demands were met. Staff needs were also met. Regular communication via memos, and emails to staff and management.
– Negotiation. I was involved in a lot of negotiations in favour of the bank. I negotiated interest rates with customers, maintenance cost with contractors, suppliers and vendors, labour costs with workmen, etc.
– Time Management. Daily time management was essential to work as HOP. This I did by creating an itinerary every day to enable me to remember what to do at any point in time. Deadlines for reports were also monitored. Timelines for contractors working for us were closely monitored.
– Knowledge of the regulating environment. The CBN is the regulating entity of all Banks. All banking indices and regulations are fixed by them. Paying attention to emails and reports from Head Office and reading them was essential. Going to CBN’s portal daily was also important to become aware of any new developments in the banking industry. This concerns interest rates, MPR, new regulations and compliance issues, etc.
– Ethics and Standards. The CIBN (Chartered Institute of Banking in Nigeria) has a code of ethics and standards for all Bankers. We were expected to read and write the test on their website every year. This was required so it could become fresh in the brain.
– CPD. Continuing Professional Development was an essential part of the job. Frequent trainings, seminars, and workshops were arranged by the Bank regularly. This included the Fraud Awareness workshop, Operations seminar, topical training, General banking training, etc.
SKILL GAP – Generally, the experience and skills I developed then were just related to Banking and financial services. There was a need for me to broaden my horizon and be a all-rounder. So, I decided to do an MSc Project Planning and Management to develop further. I am presently a student.
Communication, Time management and Negotiation skills are very essential for my job however, I’d like to say that continual professional development skill is one I need to improve on. Which is the reason for my enrollment in this course
Continuing professional development is the main reason why I registered for a project management course in DEXA, so as to be able to master the skills needed in the niche.
I need to improve on
1. Communication skills- I got to know that communication takes many forms, and to be effective I need to consider not only the message I want to pass on but also the method of communication.
2. Negotiation skills – I need a good plan to establish the objectives of the negotiation and also an understanding of the economic aspects involved in the negotiation and of the mutual value sought through collaboration.
3. Time management – the ability to manage my own time; prioritizing work by balancing the most important project and the most urgent.
Discussion post
In my current job, I recognize the importance of project management skills in my role, even though it may not be the primary focus. This is how I can relate to each of the six areas and identify potential skill gaps:
1. For Communication:

As an upcoming tour operator, i am not yet fully certfified to comply to all requirements. Having not regularized everything mentioned above can affect my business and destabilze the business- customers relationship when some stamdards are not met. To overcome he above challenges i should analyse risks and take adhere to ethics&standards and research on how to know get skilled about required tour operators working regulations .

The areas I believe I need to work on is the attitude of delegating jobs to team members .I have that attitude of not waiting for my team the moment I realize they are a set back to my job.i always work alone but share the success with my team members.
As a project manager, a potential problem I think I need to work on , is time management.many a times I work withing my own time limit in tasks given to me , I do not usually follow the time frame allotted for that task by my boss

The areas I believe I need to work more upon is my communication skill and negotiation.
I need to work more on how to communicate with client and people around in the simplest way they could understand and assimilate the information am passing across.
Also I should learn on how to interact with different people in accordance to their level of assimilation
As an aspiring Project Manager, I’ll take courses on project management to improve my knowledge and skills and increase my productivity.
To enhance my time management skills, I’d consider implementing tools like project management software, creating detailed schedules, and prioritizing tasks. For understanding the regulatory environment, I’d invest time in researching industry-specific regulations, attending relevant workshops, and consulting with experts. To strengthen ethics and adherence to standards, I’d engage in professional development courses, join ethics-focused groups, and seek mentorship. Additionally, to foster a culture of transparency and accountability within your team. Continuous self-reflection and seeking feedback will aid in my personal growth. Improvement is a gradual process, so I have to be patient and persistent in my efforts.
All the above mentioned areas are totally important in my current work but 2 areas out of the areas from the six stated above are the areas that i need to seriously improve and work on because as a Manager in my current work; its very vital i develop:
1. A good TIME MANAGEMENT skill to be able to fully meet up with my deliverables and also allot specific time to any task given as seen in the TEAMGANTT work tool. Time management is really an essential tool required to achieve an on time success in a given task as a manager and also in an assigned task to those under my work line.
2. Continual professional development: Growth, learning and re-learning are important if i must maintain being relevant in my field of work. Enrolling into and for Adequate managerial Training, seminars, workshops are very vital in order to keep abreast with the current managerial skill sets and tools required; as the world is evolving into a more digital and aggressive field. so to keep my self growing and upping my game in the world of managers, i must keep myself updated and up to date in digital skill sets and other areas to become an effective, goal oriented and profitable manager.
5 of the 6 skills are required in my current role, as an inventory manager, i thrive well with communication in order to avoid errors, I thrive well in continuing professional development by making use of online readings, YouTube videos and equally I do have a mentor in my field.
Time management Is essential to my line of work, though it requires more patience working with inventory process which I would like to improve on my time management skills.
As on the part of ethics and standards, as an inventory officer… it’s imperative to make my work standards appealing and fruitful.
Above all I would equally like to improve my knowledge on regulatory environment.
All the six skilled discussed is required in my line of duty. I thrive well with communication, time management, ethics and standard.

As the world changes, so also there is need for professional development and awareness about the norms and regulations guiding all aspect
To be an excellent project manager am need improve the skill of communication and negotiation because it’s play prominent Vita roles the lead to provide mutual understanding and good result of the project.
communication and negotiation is the essential aspect that can collaborate with clients and members of the team work and highlight points or aspect that can lead to successful project and the challenge that should be arise on the process of making project.
Of all the skill sets discussed in this lesson, I find that while I’m mostly efficient with communication and equally doing fairly well on other skill sets, I have a lot to do when it comes to understanding the regulatory environment. This is a skill a Project Manager cannot do without. It is an area I discover I have scarcity of awareness. Understanding the regulatory requirements in a particular industry makes it easier for a Project Manager to arrive at workable actions or decisions.
I intend to work on this shortfall through deliberate study of industry based regulations, and I intend to start by identifying the various regulatory bodies for different industries.
As a Project Management Associate, all the six skills are needed in my line of duty but I’ll focus more on communication and time management.
As a management systems auditor, all six skills are required in my role as team lead to effectively lead the team and execute audit assignments.
Continual professional development is the area I would like to most improve on, as my job entails understanding different types of industries and their peculiar requirements to competently deliver on the job.
To bridge this gap, I shall put more effort than I already have to actively join online forums of relevant industries to understand better how their systems works
Based on my experience, I will put in more effort on effective communication
and the negotiation power because, most of the communication taking place are one way which is not meant to be as communication is a two way channel.
On negotiation power, as a team,we will need to sit and understand what works best for the parties involved and majority carries the vote. Thank you.

And quite frankly, my position requires the six highlighted communication skill set. From negotiating with the production workers to arrive at a required and acceptable standard, to managing my time so that samples are duly analyazed, to making sure that our operation is not negatively affecting ourselves and even our surroundings at large.
However, I feel like what I struggle most with is the last skill — which is continuing professional development.
And that’s one of the reason I registered for this course, just so I can fill in that gap.
I am currently an HR Professional. I have over the years been assigned projects which from this course so far learned noticed where where I fell short on delivering. I need to now improve on the aspect of Communication and making sure that all discussions, budgets, timelines and feedbacks are clear with the client.

In my role as a practice manager for a 5 star healthcare facility, all six areas identified are essential to my effectiveness in the job role.
The skill gaps for me are as follows:
Communication, negotiation, knowledge of the regulatory environment and industry standards.
Negotiation I have realised is so much more than just getting a good deal from a customer. The ability to listen actively to team members/colleagues, focus on issues, find a common interest and to search for alternatives during disagreements can go a long way to you meeting organisational goals through them.
Communication my ideas clearly to team members and stakeholders without coming across as a bully is very important in getting their buy-ins for professional growth and development as well as meeting your desired organisation goals.
I have never bothered about the knowledge of regulatory environment and industry standards because I have a Group HR and legal team that should handle that and forgetting that I am in my job role, I am the first principal in the event of any litigation hence in all three identified above I will have to improve on by taking regular courses in these areas to sharpen those skills, as well as get senior colleagues in those areas as mentors.
As a Public Health specialist and an aspiring project manager, effective communication is an essential aspect of my job when communicating with different thematic area team leads in identifying and addressing public health challenges.

As a Project coordinator I find these skills a prerequisite for effective project coordination and management. None can be left out. in order to proficiently and efficiently manage or coordinate a project, one must be a good communicator for effective communication flow. Effective project delivery leaves no space for communication gap. Likewise, one must be a good negotiator as to factors and terms and conditions surrounding the project delivery. One must also be excellent in time management for the timely delivery of a project and budget allocation. Understanding the regulatory environment keeps you firm and alert by familiarizing you with the necessary laws to abide by. In the same vein, knowing the ethics and adherence to standards keeps you glued to ideal ethical conduct during project design and implementation. To keep being relevant and up to date, one must be mindful of continual professional development.

1. Time management

Time management: The major driver to effective time management is accurate understanding of the goals of the project. Assumptions cannot be entertained on the path of achieving any project, questions should and must be asked on all grey areas if not time and efforts will be wasted pursuing what wasn’t the goal of the project.
Communication: Project management is mostly about influencing the process and the team to achieve the desired goals and objectives. When the task and the goals are not well cummincated to the team members, it could be disastrous. Also, communication entail knowing each of the team members and how to best relate with them to achieve maximum cooperation.
Knowledge of legal and regulatory requirements of a project: The legal and regulatory requirements are meant to set the standard of operations. These requirements can be different for different location. It is the responsibility of the project manager to be fully aware of every legal and regulatory requirements as regards the project inorder to ensure a complaint product or service.
Honest negotiation: A project manager must be realistic in setting or agreeing on project timelines and financial resources allocated for the project. He must be able to think through the project and be able to clearly spell out the demand of the project at every level.

I agree that understanding the regulatory environment of the industry for the project a person wants to execute is very crucial and should be first considered.
You are right. From my own experience, understanding the regulatory environment of the vicinity where a project is being worked on is very important. Knowing the right permissions, licenses, approvals and even MOUs to acquire as a pre-requisite for your project is vital, saves you a lot of hassle.
The knowledge of regulatory environment is as key area that Project Managers need to improve on, including my very self.
All the aforementioned areas are very essential. Communication is very important, the beginning and the end of a project starts with communication, this is the very heartbeat of any successful Project Manager I believe, the effectiveness of your communication will either make you or mar you.
Negotiation is embedded in the very fabric of ‘closing a deal’, you have to try to always try to find a common ground during bargains. From the casual purchase of food items in a local store/outlet to the importation/exportation of large scale commodities, signing of contracts, etc.
This is just to point out a few examples of how these skills are essential.
Personally, I would strive to always improve on my knowledge, skill(s) and professionalism by taking more courses online and offline, a consistent personal development.
It all starts with a step; “Just Start!”.
It might not be convenient at first, “Just Start!”
You might not have all the answers, “Just Start!”.
This is just my humble opinion.

Communication skill is key in every situation we find ourselves. Where there is a bridge in your communication, there will never be a good working relationship; whether it is upwards or upwards.
Time management is very important in my experience at my work. When a vendor’s invoice is delayed in processing, this will affect the payment due date as well.
You are quite right, communication is key in any organization regardless of specialization. Once there is a bridge in communication, it will affect turn out
As a Construction Manager, all the above-mentioned skills are relevant in my day-to-day management of events at my work site(s).
Communication:- effective communication is key to meeting all project goals. For communication to be effective, there must be clarity, that is, every participant should clearly understand their roles, means, and channels of communication and as well get feedback.
Negotiation:- there is so much room for improvement for me here, because construction projects are hinged on negotiation – between you and the clients, vendors, suppliers, artisans, etc – in all of these you must thrive to strike a fair deal.
As a trained banker and tutor, communication is a vital skill which I must not joke with. It requires the ability to communicate my mind and the objective to the customers and students and at the same time get feedback in terms of satisfaction or evaluation. Also, Time management must be put in place as this allow me to measure the extent at which I have gone in achieving the desire goals or objectives. When time management is not put in place, the time frame for the project may not be followed duly. I need to work on my negotiation and professional development skills.
As a helpdesk officer in an IT company, communication is first and key, i communicate with fellow school and site administrators and proffer solutions, if they make a request and no response from my end then there work comes to a halt. also Time management is key the turn over time in which i give response to them will determine if their own progress too
As a Business Manager the above mentioned skills are all required but mostly, time management is highly needed because there are targets and deadlines to be met and without the proper time management skill, you’re bound to disappoint your clients at the end of the day.
In the course of my career and my proposed career goals, the effective project manager skills I need to work on are;
1. Communication- I struggle with communication and passing my message across. I have also realized that I have been unable to clearly communicate with my team on set goals and objectives, and also expected outcomes. This has negatively affected tasks as team members are usually unaware of what is expected of them.
2. Negotiation- I have found that most times, I am unable to clearly convince others and propose a win-win solution for all parties as I underestimate my capabilities and end up settling for projects that favor every other party but myself. I need to learn to put my needs first and effectively propose solutions that are a good deal for both me and my stakeholders. I also need to work on understanding and communicating the mutual values sought through collaboration with stakeholders.
In the cause of this career, I have noticed that I find it difficult to drive the skill of Negotiation. This has always been an issue l tend to shy away from. Or it ends up being a one-way thing that the client ends up winning. This is something that I need to develop and grow on.
all the requirements are what i needed in my career journey

Majorly communication goes a long way in ensuring how smooth a project will run.

Communication is very key to our operations.
I need to improve on listening to others point of view in any communication I am making with my team
2. NEGOTIATION
This is also important in getting a task done, to meet up with the set targets. Every members of the team is very useful and important in their areas of specialisation. So, there is need to negotiate how to utilised the assigned time for the job and get the results.
On this case, I always do my best but I still need to give the lowest ranked team members chance to have their ideas welcomed on the table of negotiation.
3. TIME MANAGEMENT
Time management is very important in my job, every activities is timed according to the specification given in the guild book. And also to get a good result on time, time should be managed properly.
I need to continue key in to time management schedules of company and encourage others to do so.

In my day to day activities I keep to these regulations and ensure other members of the team do so.
5. ETHICS AND STANDARDS
The company I am working with has ethics and standards which we adhere strictly to, so we can have services and products meet the best quality standards. It is the interest of the company that no one deviate from the standard and if there is anything that want to tamper with the standard will be removed from the system.
In my capacity I keep to these standards and encourage others to do so.

The many areas are communication, as a geologist we relate with local community chiefs, helpers and even local security, passing out the right communication tools across is difficult when you don understand the local dialers but it can be easier when you go with an assistant from the said community area in helping to communicate with the local heads.
2. Negotiation is an area where diplomacy and calmness plays a vital role while trying to understand the dynamics of dealing with employed locals to be used on a project. If the local head is educated it goes a long way in helping the geologist dealing with excessive demands from the locals

Communication: a barrier in effective communication will hamper the effective delivery of the project. As was thought, though the need for effective communication but as a project manager, there’s need to be formals in communication because too much familiarity will breathe in contempt as such the goal and quality of the result may be truncated. Though with mouth the communication but physical display ooutdo the verbal communication. Erratic visitation, welfare and strength appraisal is important too. The client should be given up to date background of the project though not all the details of the project.
Time management: though time is the most scarcest resources on Earth yet every attainment is measured in Time. I will make sure I work on my time management,how I manage bottle necks and attained to deliverables and it’s integration into the system for effective and efficient project delivery.
Negotiation: I will work on my negotiation skills . Many atimes, a lot of project is done with an infinitesimal take-home thereby creating chances for agitation on the next. I will make sure I’m meticulous in negotiations.
Environment: the Working enablemens of both the workers and and client should be enabling. There should be an equilibrium between the internal and external factors for effective and efficient project.

As a professional, all the skills highlighted are very essential not just to the project manager role but it cuts across various sectors. Communication is key as it gives all parties timely update on a project, negotiation in the sense that major stakeholders get the value for their money. Continuous Professional development helps keep the PM constantly abreast in various areas rather than being obsolete in terms of knowledge.
As a project manager, all the six skills stated are of utmost importance. For my, I now have more understanding and a need to fine-tune my knowledge on the regulatory environment.
As a Project Control Engineer, all six areas are essential for my job.
Communication: so as to effectively exchange information with everyone around me. Negotiation: for effective discussion to reach an agreement.
Time Management: to efficiently manage the time given for the project delivery.
Knowledge of regulatory environment: to understand how projects are being carried out in a particular place, area, state and or country.
Ethics and standards: to make sure the project is carried out ethically and according to specific standards.
Continuing professional development: the world is developing as new ideas are continuously being birth. Staying up to date with new trends is essential.
As a founder, these skills are all essential. I hope to advance in them, particularly communication, through this course.
All the six listed skills are important to navigate effortlessly in business and organisations. However, I find Communication, Time management and Ethics and standard as outstanding being that I’ve seen how they affect a project.
Back in school, I’ve helped coursemates with their project researches battling with how to finish up with a better result considering the short duration of time given.
As s class teacher and a business girl, communication is key to get a successful result or in making profit. The ability to inculcate knowledge to my students and be satisfied with their performance, is indeed a good one. Also, being able to persuasively convince a customer to patronise me amongst many others who sells same thing as I am, makes communication a must have skill.
The little knowledge I gained in school from Professional ethics shows that everyone must and should abide by the code of conducts, standard of the industry or country as it plays a vital role in the success and progress of every profession and project.
All the skills listed are necessary for progressive project managers. However, time management is critical because of the high level of competition and innovation in our world today especially in the tech sector.
Any project manager who manages time effectively will always lead others.
In my professional journey, I have undertaken diverse roles that have significantly shaped my skill set. Initially, I served as an Operations Manager, where I honed my abilities in various areas. These experiences laid the foundation for skills such as effective communication, seamless collaboration, upholding professionalism, and grasping the intricacies of organizational ethics.
Transitioning to the role of a Software Engineer, I leveraged these skills to enhance my performance in this technical domain. My time as a software engineer further sharpened my communication capabilities, enabling me to convey complex technical concepts with clarity and precision. Additionally, I have cultivated a strong sense of collaboration, allowing me to work seamlessly within cross-functional teams.
One facet I recognize as a key area for growth is negotiation skills. Negotiation necessitates critical thinking, the ability to navigate complex scenarios, and the art of finding common ground. While I have made notable progress in this domain, I am committed to continuous improvement. I believe that refining my negotiation skills will not only empower me professionally but also equip me to navigate intricate discussions and reach equitable solutions which in no doubt will enable better performance in the role of a project manager.
Honestly the skills listed above are very essential in any business or organizational growth. As a business oriented person, I have to learn nd develope my skill of time management and continuous developing my skills to help or give me more opportunity to strive better in the business am into or whatever one am going to venture into in the nearest future… It is necessary to have all the skills to enable me break even in a market where there is competition…. Because no market without a competition now.
I am a business owner and i run an investment program that entails assigning task to my team to deliver grains to a village market for weekly sales and pay without failure return on investment[ROI] to my investors. We use the water fall methodology in our operations where each task is completed in a ranking order. The team in charge of purchase have to scout and negotiate then communicate to me for approval before the accountant sends the money to the suppliers, then the loaders load before the drivers can move to deliver at the market and so on .because we deal with locals from various locations across Nigeria i have come to realize that employing all the skills are paramount for a successful weekly sales. A bridge in communication at any level will jeopardise meeting target for that week. From negotiations, communicating in the market language familiar by he locals to managing my team to work with the market rules and environmental norms etc. All the skills are neccessary.

These three great skills aforementioned above lacking in my team have created a big gap and the more it is being closed the wider it becomes because the mindset of one or two individuals in team that I belong will not see things the management way.
I however hope to use these tools garnered here so far to see how the gap can be closed gradually though it will take some times as the goal is not to impose my idea on the team but rather to give them the enabling platform to listen and to be listened to and act in some areas that will give them a sense of belongings.

I believe communication is the most vital need of every person irrespective of the industry. Before you can even learn how to negotiate, you have to know how to communicate your thought process and ideas in a skillful manner. All other skills are also very essential because at the end of the day, you can’t communicate what you do not know. So they all work hand in hand. Basically, the gap of professional development is what I am on the quest to full.

I understand the importance of tailoring my message to suit the diverse audience I engage with, considering factors such as literacy levels, cultural backgrounds, and mindsets. Whether it’s conducting safety training sessions, toolbox talks, or stakeholder meetings, I recognize that the method and clarity of communication are crucial in conveying safety information effectively.
Negotiation skills are equally vital in my role as an HSE Team Lead. Dealing with project stakeholders on issues related to social, environmental, and safety aspects of our activities requires collaboration and finding common ground. The ability to negotiate and reach mutually beneficial resolutions is essential for ensuring that safety remains a top priority throughout the project’s lifecycle.
Time management is a key aspect of achieving our set HSE targets within the project’s stipulated timeframe. I understand the importance of effectively prioritizing tasks, allocating resources, and adhering to the project’s HSE policies to meet deadlines without compromising safety standards.
Comprehensive knowledge and application of HSE standards, regulations, and bodies at local, national, and international levels are crucial to ensuring compliance and best practices in our HSE initiatives. Staying up-to-date with evolving regulations and industry standards allows me to implement effective safety measures and protocols.
Ethics and standards form the foundation of my commitment to ensuring the safety of every individual within the workplace. The moral imperative of safeguarding lives and promoting a culture of safety cannot be overstated.
To continually enhance my performance as an HSE Team Lead, I recognize the importance of engaging in Continuous Professional Development. As the field of HSE evolves, it is essential to keep abreast of new and challenging issues, seeking out opportunities for learning and skill development to meet the demands of an ever-changing work environment.
Upon self-reflection, I have identified two skill gaps in negotiation and time management. I am eager to address these areas for improvement while simultaneously honing all six core skills of a project manager. By committing to personal growth and professional development, I am confident that I can become an even more effective HSE Team Lead, ensuring the safety and well-being of our workforce while achieving our project’s objectives.

Good evening.
The job I am particularly interested in is People management: Project management.
The job I currently have is School Administration Intern, and I am as well a Front Desk Volunteer.
The skills my jobs require I have that are related to the areas a project manager needs to develop skills are: Communication, Time Management, Negotiation, Knowledge of the Regulatory Environment, Ethic and standards, Continuing Professional Development.
The skills gaps I have based on the above are: Lack of Continuing Professional Development, Inadequate time management, Poor/Bad communication skill, Bad Negotiation power, and lack of Knowledge of the Regulatory Environment, because I’m in the entry level.
Possible actions I may want to take are:
i) Working on my Communication skill: As I have been taught, I will consider not just the message alone as I have been doing, but also the method for communicating. I will take note of factors that may influence the communication like my mood, choice of language, and cultural influence. Maybe a smile will do for the mood influence.
ii) Making judicious use of my time: Waking up early is still a struggle for me, so most times I wake up by 5am, or 6am, and have less than 2 hours to be ready for my physical job here… This is the beginning of my improper use of time. Since coming back stressed from work is unavoidable, I will consider preparing for work the day before, stressed or not, so waking up at that time will be to freshen up and leave, leading to punctuality, and punctuality is the core step for time management. At least for me.
iii) Continuing Professional Development: It is what I am doing now, thanks to The Open University, U. K., Teamgantt, and DEXA for this opportunity. The lessons from here to be a Project manager encompasses managing people, and as a front desk volunteer, my choicest role there when labour is divided involves dealing with people, young adults as it’s a School environment, and I love it which is why I volunteer to be there when I’m free. So, yes, this is my first professional development step. I am already taking a possible action.
iv) Negotiation: It’s quite easier negotiating with the young adults here because I give them a timeframe they cannot argue about, and it will be a win-win as always, because they get the particular job off their hands when they keep to my stated timeframe. They also avoid punishments or stress that may accumulate as a result of delaying or withholding the necessary requirements. And a win for me because I will get that job off my hands to when I get the requirements on time, and I wouldn’t have to shout or look for anyone. I just have to smile and receive.
Either ways, negotiation is a skill I will make efforts to learn because I will meet more age groups as a project manager, and even as the volunteer here.
For the last one, lack of knowledge can be taken care of by acquiring knowledge so I will do my best to learn what I need to learn.
Thank you for this space to discuss. It feels good to do this.
Peace.

For a sales and marketing manager dealing with local and foreign distributors, the project management skills mentioned earlier can be highly valuable.
Communication: Effective communication is crucial for a sales and marketing manager when working with distributors. Clear and concise communication helps convey marketing strategies, product information, sales targets, and promotional activities. It ensures that distributors have a thorough understanding of the company’s goals and expectations.
Negotiation: Sales and marketing managers often engage in negotiations with distributors to establish pricing, terms of trade, promotional support, and distribution agreements. Strong negotiation skills enable managers to find mutually beneficial solutions, build strong partnerships, and achieve desired outcomes.
Time management: Time management skills are essential for sales and marketing managers dealing with multiple distributors, both local and foreign. They need to effectively allocate their time, prioritize activities, and meet deadlines for product launches, marketing campaigns, and ongoing sales support. Efficient time management ensures that all distributors receive timely attention and support.
Knowledge of the regulatory environment: Sales and marketing managers should be aware of the regulatory requirements and industry standards related to product distribution in both local and foreign markets. Understanding import/export regulations, labeling requirements, and any specific industry regulations helps managers ensure compliance and avoid legal issues when working with distributors.
Ethics and standards: Maintaining ethical practices and upholding industry standards is crucial in the sales and marketing domain. Sales and marketing managers must ensure that distributors are treated fairly and transparently, and that all marketing activities comply with ethical guidelines. Upholding high ethical standards helps build trust and long-term relationships with distributors.
Continuing professional development: Sales and marketing practices are continually evolving, especially in the context of global markets. Sales and marketing managers should stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and new marketing strategies to effectively engage with local and foreign distributors. Continuous professional development enables managers to adapt to changing market dynamics and seize new opportunities.

As an ERP consultant, my role overlaps the project management role and I often stand in the gap for the project manager in many occasions. However, my take on the PM skill sets is in the area of honesty and negotiation. May projects have failed because of dishonesty by PMs promising more than what they can do. Many times, companies tries to up sale by making empty promises in order to lure clients into buying into the products. This put a lot of pressure on the teams (especially designers and developers) who go out of their ways tries to complement the effort of the PMs. This sometimes backfire especially when deadlines could not be met, thus halting the progress of the entire project.
As a Project Managers, I have to be proactive and detailed enough to see the big picture of projects and be able to have a broader view that truly conceive a successful project.
Communication is very key and having an excellent hindsight is exceptional.
As for Psychosocial support, I have been working in the Humanitarian sector for two years providing counseling for vulnerable women and Girls and also those at risk, while all These skills are important, But without proper communication I can assure you the rest of the skills can be sabotaged, you will need communication skills to put up negotiations, your communication needs to be very clear to your client in other not to misinterpret what you actually mean
As a class room teacher ,communication is one of the important key to gain both students and teachers heart, also we can not overemphasize on the important of time management this is very paramount in any organisation it enables an individual to work with speed and accuracy in other to archive the required set goals.
As an entrepreneur and founder of a cleaning service company. The power of communication and negotiation can’t be put aside because it is very important to the client and company involve in order to satisfy the customer and also be on the win side. For you to have more customers and retain the one you have in the industry, you must build these two skills
In order to succeed in the industry as an event planner, you must possess all the project management skills. But I still need to improve my negotiation and continuing professional development skills. It is preferable to negotiate without having to concede ground. I will purposefully negotiate in order to benefit both my clients and myself. My ability to compete in a workplace where new trends are constantly emerging would be aided by continuous professional development. In business, it’s crucial to keep current. Development and relevance go hand in hand with ongoing learning.
Communication can never be overemphasized when it comes to any professions. I used to work with a FinTech as a collector and the major part of our job description is to communicate and negotiate with customers. So a good communication and negotiation skill is highly required to succeed in any organisation.
Also talking about time management, putting the most important tasks ahead is very paramount.
While all the skills are important, I have learnt here today that negotiation should not be a one way thing but a win win agreement which was initially different from what I am use to and I intend to put this in practice ASAP.
Secondly, Ethics and standard is very key because alot of the times if not careful one may fall below standard unknowingly which render all the good works useless.. I have learnt here today that professionalism and ethics must go hand in hand.
Finally, one must continue to seek for better and up to date ways of doing things through continuous study and taking courses that will help to realise the goals and objectives of any project as a project manager….
Thank you.

As one who has been a subject teacher for several years and served as Vice Principal (Academics), I understand the importance of communication, negotiation, time management, rules and regulations as well as ethical conducts and standards when handling issues with co-teachers, students, school directors and supervisors. Also, as I presently supervise a centre where Internally Displaced Youths and Barrack youths come together to learn digital skill and go for artisan training these skills become even more pertinent in order to have a smooth atmosphere. I find myself in the middle and needing to communicate with students as well as my director on the day-to-day activities of the centre. It is also important that one do not neglect personal growth in terms of continuing professional development.

Well two cannot work together except there is an agreement and for an agreement to happen, communication must take place. As a customer service personnel, communication, Time management and Negotiation is very vital to be considered as a good and reliable customer service personnel.

As a digital marketer, my work requires communication both with clients and targeted audience. Negotiation is also important to negotiate out a viable contract. Time management is also needed to streamline our marketing to objectives. Also as a digital marketer, one must continue professional development so as to be in tune with the rapidly changing world.
As the teacher states we all need good communication skills coupled with good time management to be effective and deffinitly more efficient in our work space.
As an entrepreneur, addressing skill gaps is crucial for personal growth and business success. Communication: taking soft skills like Jobberman Soft skills has helped me with courses that focus on verbal, written, and non-verbal communication to enhance clarity and effectiveness in conveying ideas, improve listening skills to better understand clients, employees, and stakeholders’ needs and concerns, and regularly ask for feedback from team members and customers to identify areas for improvement.
Negotiation: Attending negotiation seminars that offer practical negotiation techniques and strategies; Engaging in simulated negotiation scenarios to practice and refine my negotiation skills.
Time management: Establishing specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals to guide my time allocation. Also utilizing apps or tools that help me organize tasks, set reminders, and manage my schedule effectively. I, however, identify tasks that can be delegated to team members, freeing up time for more strategic decision-making.
Knowledge of the regulatory environment: Regularly monitoring updates on regulations and laws relevant to my industry through industry publications, government websites, and professional organizations; Consulting with legal experts to gain a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory landscape and ensure compliance. And Network with industry peers through participation in industry events and conferences like the Transforming Nigerian Youth (TNY) to exchange knowledge and insights on regulatory changes.
Ethics and standards: Establishing a code of conduct; Developing a clear and comprehensive code of conduct for my business that outlines ethical guidelines for all stakeholders while demonstrating ethical behavior in my actions and decisions to create a culture of integrity within the company. However, there is room for anonymous reporting channels for any potential ethical concerns or violations.
Continuing professional development: I always seek out and dedicate regular time slots for reading books, taking online courses, or attending workshops to stay updated on industry trends and best practices. Also Joining professional organizations that offer access to resources and networking opportunities for continuous learning. Most importantly, I seek guidance from experienced mentors or coaches to help identify areas for improvement and create a personalized development plan.
However, addressing skill gaps is an ongoing process. It’s essential to stay committed to self-improvement and be open to feedback from others. As we enhance these skills, we’ll not only strengthen our abilities as an entrepreneur but also foster a more successful and sustainable business.
As a project manager, Continuing professional development is necessary. For someone who works with a team of professionals and non-professionals, it is expedient that the project manager be abreast an up-to-date with necessary information as regards handling projects. It is also necessary so that the PM wont be operating with an outdated information regarding various fields where the project demands might come from.
As someone in the financial industry, certain monetary policies and situations would determine the possible decisions to be undertaken while looking at making financial aids available to people.
As a teacher, I deals with communication and time management everyday.But as a project manager all the skills is important
I totally agree with you. As a teacher, communication and time management are more essential but indeed all the skills are required as a project manager.
My name is Chidinma Miracle.
As a business consultant, these skills are necessary, especially communication and time management skills. Dealing with deadlines every day, it is important to work closely with clients and communicate in other to deliver as expected
My name is Ifeyinwa Catherine Okoh. As a community relations officer, all of these skills are major requirements in the discharge of my duties. It is basically to bridge the gap between organisations and her publics and also to help boost the image of the organisation and this requires Excellent communication skills, Negotiation is also a key requirement as this is vital in crises management. Also of note is that our job is guided by regulatory bodies to ensure we are operating within the set guidelines. We carry out lots of projects in the Oil and Gas industry and as such Time is of essence. Projects must be executed within a timeframe as milestones are a part of any project. We have our job ethics and standards as it involves procurement and vendor activities. So in all, I can categorically say that all the aforementioned skills is expedient in my job role.

I am a work in progress and this project management course is a move in the right direction for me to enhance my skills in becoming an aspiring Project Manager in the nearest future.
Working as a Business Relationship Manager (BRM) under the ISO20000 standard and ITIL framework has helped me to sharpen these skills. Functioning as the bridge between the business and Technology requires effective communication, both verbal and written, as expectations need to be clearly communicated in a language that everyone will understand. This facilitates enabling the business as against just supporting their projects.

Clear and concise communication ensures that team members understand project objectives, tasks, and deadlines. It facilitates collaboration, reduces misunderstandings, and fosters a positive work environment. Strengthening my communication skills, both written and verbal, will help me convey information more effectively and build stronger relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.
Negotiation skills are valuable when dealing with conflicting interests, resolving conflicts, and reaching mutually beneficial agreements. Whether it involves resource allocation, budget negotiations, or scope changes, being able to negotiate effectively can help me secure the necessary resources and manage stakeholder expectations. By understanding different negotiation techniques and practicing active listening, I can enhance my ability to find win-win solutions and strengthen my negotiation skills.
Time management is essential for project managers to ensure that projects stay on track and meet deadlines. Effective time management involves setting priorities, creating realistic schedules, and efficiently allocating resources. By improving my time management skills, I can enhance my ability to plan and prioritize tasks, manage competing deadlines, and avoid unnecessary delays.
Understanding the regulatory environment is crucial, especially in industries with stringent regulations and compliance requirements. Being aware of relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards helps project managers navigate legal and compliance issues effectively. By staying updated on regulatory changes, attending relevant training or workshops, and seeking guidance from legal experts, I can ensure that my projects adhere to the regulatory framework and mitigate associated risks.
Ethics and adherence to standards are foundational for maintaining professionalism and trust in any profession. Project managers need to uphold ethical principles, promote fairness, and ensure transparency in their decision-making processes.
Regularly reviewing and reinforcing ethical guidelines and organizational standards will help me integrate ethical considerations into my project management practices and foster a culture of integrity within my team.
Continual professional development is crucial for staying relevant and enhancing one’s skills in a rapidly evolving work environment.
To bridge the skill gaps and contribute to the discussion group, I would consider the following steps:
* Engage in professional development opportunities: I would explore training programs, workshops, or certifications specifically focused on the areas I need improvement. This will provide me with practical knowledge and tools to enhance my skills.
* Seek mentorship or coaching: Connecting with experienced project managers who excel in the skills I want to improve upon can offer valuable guidance and insights. Their mentorship and coaching can help me develop a roadmap for skill development and provide feedback on my progress.
* Join professional communities and networks: Participating in industry-specific forums, online communities, or project management associations can facilitate knowledge sharing, networking, and learning from peers. Engaging in discussions, attending webinars, and exchanging experiences will broaden my perspective and expose me to diverse viewpoints.
* Embrace feedback and self-reflection: Actively seeking feedback from colleagues, supervisors, and team members can provide valuable insights into areas where I can improve. Regular self-reflection on my strengths and weaknesses will help me identify specific actions to address skill gaps and monitor my progress over time.
* Apply learning to real-world projects: Putting newly acquired skills into practice is essential for growth. Actively seeking opportunities to apply my improved skills within projects will allow me to refine my abilities and demonstrate the value I can bring to the organization.
By taking these steps, I can bridge the skill gaps in communication, negotiation, time management, understanding the regulatory environment, ethics, and continual professional development. Through ongoing learning and practice, I can contribute to the discussion group and, more importantly, enhance my effectiveness as a project manager in my current or future roles.

Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between different activities. Get it right, and you’ll end up working smarter, not harder, to get more done in less time – even when time is tight and pressures are high. The highest achievers manage their time exceptionally well.
Communication skill is a vital tool to get. It’s the touch light that shades light to every aspect of the project
As a Control panel operator in a fertilizer plant, the basic skill that I need are: communication, negotiation and time management.
The reason is as the Control room operator I give instruction to the field operators, senior operator and also give feedback to my shift superintendent. So as I give instruction to the field operators it is required that they understand the instruction I have given to them and ensure that I get feedback from them before I proceed to another task.
In the aspect of negotiation sometimes I work with other units in the organisation like the utilities department, so there are times when I need their products and it may not be okay for them as at the time I need it but I need it, so I deploy my negotiation skill. As a good negotiator I will make them understand the reason why I need that product as at when I need it, not like I’m ordering them but I will tend to negotiate with them and then make them see that me receiving that product will also be good for their own process. Like sometimes we use a product called (Steam) and after a while we give them back process condensate so if I don’t use their process they will not get the process condensate for their own process so I will make them understand that it is actually a win-win situation for the two of us.
For time management since is a process plant and it is expedient that we work with time because our processes are based on temperature, pressure and time so I will ensure that I make the field operator understand the reason I’m asking him/her to do something as at when I’m asking him to do it because sometimes if they don’t understand you may actually have a communication issue which will impact the deliverable of the project say for instance we are doing startup project. Making us have a longer start up time. When you make them understand that we are asking you to do this because if you don’t do it this will be the repercussion so when they understand that and then you tell them do this they will do it quickly.
These are the skills I leverage on.
The place where there are gap is in the aspect of the knowledge of regulatory bodies and environment; Sometimes because some of my operators do not know the effect of handling chemicals and they just dispose it haphazardly. The effect it will have on the environment and then the fact that there are some regulatory agencies responsible for checking these things.
Also there are skill gap of continuing professional development because sometimes some things you expect some persons to know they don’t know it, so these are skill gap that kind-of hamper or deter the project delivery of my job.

2. Time management: this is very important as a engineer managing projects and employees , ability to make your priority lists helps you to manage your time we’ll all through the project time to completion is very necessary.
3. Negotiation : it is always good to set emotions aside while negotiating for business as some project managers do this and at the end up putting their project at stake.

This is easily achievable through training, seminar, professional courses etc. Bridging such professional gaps is my goal.

THE 25 PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS YOU NE …
The 25 project management skills you need to succeed

Summary
Anyone who oversees projects is a project manager, but to become a more thoughtful manager (with a higher impact), you need to develop the right project management skills. Learn what skills are necessary to become a successful project manager and how to build them.
At Asana, we believe that if you manage projects, you’re a project manager… even if that’s not your job title. In order for teams to effectively collaborate and get their best work done, they need a project manager like you to lead the way. But even if you’re already managing a project—or even multiple projects—how do you get better at being a project manager?
If you’re interested in honing and developing your project management skills, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll cover 25 key skills you need to succeed as a project manager or project administrator, and how you can develop those skills over time.
What are project management skills (and why do they matter?)
Project management skills are the attributes you develop to become a more experienced project manager. Building a project management skill set includes learning technical and hard skills, such as portfolio management and project scoping, and soft skills (for example, adaptability).In honing these skills, you’re preparing yourself to more effectively perform in your role.
Project management is the practice of organizing and executing work efficiently—and helping your team do the same. For a while, project managers had to be trained and certified in complicated project management technology. Traditional project management tools were hard to set up and required constant maintenance, which is where the position “project manager” comes from.
Modern project management tools
Modern project management evolved from traditional project management in two distinct ways. As companies and teams democratized their project management processes, they needed more team members and team leads who were able to manage a process from conception to completion. In order to support those team leads, project management software has also evolved, from complex mechanisms to flexible and easy-to-use tools.
[Product UI] Work requests project example (Boards)
Today, any team member may be called upon to run a project and become the de-facto project manager—which is why modern project management tools are built to be flexible enough for anyone to use on any project, so you’re able to jump in and hit the ground running.
These tools, like Asana, make it easy to track, manage, and organize work—without the learning curve associated with traditional tools. With today’s project management tools, you can easily implement project management best practices and bring a new level of clarity and visibility to your project team.
Manage projects with one tool
How to use your project management skills
Project management tools do the heavy lifting when it comes to reducing silos, increasing visibility, and facilitating cross-functional collaboration. As the project manager, you can use these tools to give your team the insight they need to get their best work done. While you don’t need to learn complicated skills or tools in order to become a successful project manager, there are hard, soft, and technical skills you can develop in order to improve your management and collaboration skills.
Some of these skills might not apply to you—while others might be things you’re already seasoned in. Like everything in the five phases of project management, approach this list with flexibility and work on the skills that are most relevant to you.
Read: The difference between hard skills and soft skills: Examples from 14 Asana team members
10 soft skills for project managers
Soft skills are what we call “non-technical skills,” or skills that can help you improve your quality of work—without a specific tool or technical requirement. These are also called “people skills” or “interpersonal skills” because they often help you work with and relate to others in your workspace. These 10 skills are the most important soft skills for project management:
1. Collaboration
Collaboration is the cornerstone of all project management skills. In project management, collaboration helps you get work done quickly and more efficiently. When you can coordinate across teams, you gain valuable insights into your project that you might not find within your team. If more minds are involved in the work, projects are inherently more creative and well developed.
To improve your collaboration skills, practice having conversations. Use techniques like active listening, where you stay engaged and focused when others are speaking to you. It sounds simple, but learning how to have open communication, reduce boundaries, and co-create are critical for a collaborative team.

2. Teamwork
Everyone on your team has something to bring to the table, and your team is more effective working together than they would be alone. Teamwork ensures that everyone feels welcome, valued, and they are supported to contribute.
If you’re working to boost your teamwork skills, dig deeper into team brainstorms, 1:1 conversations, and ask for feedback from your team—how can you be a better team member? Notice if there’s someone who hasn’t spoken up in a while, and be supportive when another team member has a new idea.
3. Communication
Miscommunications are common when you’re working with a group of people. Learning how to communicate well and avoid these will make projects run more smoothly and be more enjoyable.
To develop your communication skills, practice being open and honest with your coworkers. This requires a lot of trust between you and your team members. To build this trust, encourage your team members to bring any thoughts into a discussion—even if you disagree with them.
4. Time management
Time management and organization skills go hand in hand. As you become better at organizing your tasks, you’ll also have a clearer sense of everything that’s on your plate and how long your upcoming tasks are going to take.
Still, it can be hard to buckle down and prioritize your work. To improve your time management skills and reduce procrastination, try prioritizing tasks. When you’re clear on which tasks are higher priority, you can tackle them first, to make sure nothing gets left behind or falls through the cracks.
5. Leadership
Even if you don’t think of yourself as a leader or have a role in team management, when you’re managing a project, your project team is looking to you for leadership, guidance, and support.
To develop your leadership skills, practice approaching situations with empathy and understanding. Good leaders bring everyone together and make them feel supported to foster teamwork and collaboration.
6. Organization
For a lot of project managers, organization is the most intimidating soft skill. You might think organization is either something you “have” or “don’t have.” But, like every other project management skill in this article, you can develop your organizational skills and become a Marie Kondo in your own right.
The best way to become a better organizer is to create (and maintain) a central source of truth for your work and your team’s work. We’re often disorganized because work is disconnected—in fact, the average employee switches between 10 tools per day. Instead of splitting your time between 10 tools, try using a digital organization tool to act as that one central source of truth for your team.

Communication skills are important, as this is required to drive conversations around what the goal and Objectives are, if they are clearly understood by the project manager, what cues are necessary to look out for in the negotiation process, and lastly how the project manager presents the outcome of the project.
All core six skills are important in my current role, but i would love to fill the gap in the following three skills below:
1. Time Management skill
2. Knowledge of the regulatory environment.
3. continuous professional development.
once, i get this three(3) rights and further improved on the other three(3) i believe i will have the world under my feet.
For me as an architect, the six skills mentioned above are not to be overlooked, especially The knowledge of the regulatory environment, time management for the benefit of meeting clients expectations before or on deadlines. I need continuing professional development so as to remain relevant and competent in the construction industry.
To this end, it will be expedient for me to always look out to improve in knowledge by taking advance courses on various subjects within this field of endeavor as well as staying connected to a good and wide network of individuals, fostering valuable relationships with other professionls in the industry to help stay current with new evolutions in the field.

Communication, negotiation and time management skills are very important for my field.

The above are the ones that fit well with my current position. I’m a lawyer by profession, and without apparent communication with my clients and team members, my experience in court would be excruciating. Negotiating is a fundamental part of legal practice, and enhancing that skill puts one in a strong position. Time management makes a good lawyer great. Court processes are all time conscious and filing out of time normally gives you a lower hand in the Judge’s eyes. Ethics and standards are pivotal in every profession/discipline. It’s the oil to the machine, it keeps the machine running smoothly. Continuous professional development is good in keeping one abreast in their choice of field. In my profession, it is mandatory to keep developing as laws change often.

My kind of job as a professional teacher and a career mentor always requires good communication, time management, and knowledge of the regulatory environment as well as ethics and standards. I need to work more on my Negotiation skills for home and private tutoring outside my work environment and then, master continuous professional development by exposing myself to programs like this and other opportunities out there.
In my current professional field, the areas/skills I need to improve on are, communication, negotiation and continuing professional development. Going by these life and career-transforming lessons, I have come to understand that effective, quality and positive result-oriented communication is key in getting things done in our day-to-day activities. Also, my idea of negotiation has been unlearned. Now, I know the act of bargaining is not one-sided, it is a win-win situation to all parties involved. Lastly, as knowledge is said to be light and a forest doesn’t evolve from a single tree, it’s essential to keep aiming for requisite professional knowledge as I glean from the well of knowledge of those who have gone professionally ahead.

I think communication and negotiation are the most important. Communication helps to understand the other party and negotiation teaches compromise.
i believe all six areas are essential and not limited as there are more areas and skills to develp or build as a project manager.
Communication is key to every management. without communication one may not be able to achieve any goal with a team of people from diverse background and experience. Time Management is important as well

Which may not have been possible without a good communication skill. Negotiation is not that big with my present job because product prices are fixed, yet I will not say that I do not have the skill in me because every other area of my daily life entails negotiation.
Ethical contact in most professional organizations is a culture with the company I work for not left out.
To improve in my work, professional development became part of me, mostly using the online platform to do that.
I find myself needing each and every one of the skills mentioned here all the time, especially Communication, Negotiations and Time management. I’m not a project manager yet but I find that I’m most often that team member asked to help supervise, organise or follow up the others. There are times I’ve used these skills unknowingly, times it went well and times they didn’t work. I believe learning this formally will help me be intentional about using them and raise the success probability of my applications a great lot.
As a teacher, I believe that all these skills are essential owing to the fact that moulding lives (teaching, correcting, mentoring etc) is a full time project of it’s own.
Effective communication is one of the best ways of reaching out or winning your way into the life of every learner, being able to understand their moods, handling them according to their abilities or level of comprehension, speaking their language, knowing the right method of delivering lessons to students at any given time/mood etc.
Teaching is not a one-way process, you don’t just stand and deliver your lessons and go,no !, also give room for suggestions, discussion, from your learners…. You can actually learn one or two from these students as well.
Knowing the rules and regulations governing your place of work is very vital as well and upholding a good conduct of yourself knowing that you are not just a teaching but a role model as well.
One aspect I need to brace up my self in is in professional development, acquiring more and more intense knowledge not just of my area of specialization but in other areas of life. Teaching is not a linear function, it embodies a lot not just subjects but also character building, lifestyle etc.

As a young lady who is so interested in leadership, managing projects and evolving in the world of tech, I consider the six skills very important.
However, I need to pay more attention to “knowledge of the regulatory environment and continuing professional development”.
This is because I never knew before now that to manage a project, one needs to have a knowledge of the regulatory environment. But, now that I know, I’d go ahead to make researches where necessary, so as to become an outside leader in all I do.
Again, I’m reminded that learning never ends. So, I shouldn’t rely on what I used to know or how things used to be done. The world keeps evolving and because I want to be the best in all I do, I have to always spot out where I’m lagging and fill the lacuna with the necessary knowledge and actions.

Communication is one of the most important skills for any professional, most times we all look at team communication and tend to neglect our day-to-day conversations. Without effective communication skills, our ideas can’t be related and that means no matter how go you are, you are as good as your communication skills. The truth is for you to be a successful professional all listed skills are important, they set you apart making you among the 1% of the 1%, but my reason for flogging on communication is because it is one of the most underrated skill sets.
Whichever way, either in official or unofficial secular or spiritual settings, in this life, all of the six skills of an efficient and effective project management professional are all relevant, without exception. As much as communication is vital, a dumb and deaf has to invent a sign language to communicate in order to mutually relate and interact appropriately within a team or group of colleagues, family, and friends respectively. While in a community that you have a deaf and dumb, there are ethics and standard. And you must have a sound knowledge of the regulatory environment, that cannot be violated (for instance, you can’t put a leaf in your mouth, it’s not acceptable to those who are speech-challenged).
Evryone knows time is precious, and it waits for no-one. We must so time conscious, and do at the right time, whatever needs be done first. And as we aged, we acquire more and more knowledge and understanding in a continuous experiential development. Life, aside our secular endeavours, is a project, that demands our competence and skill to manage well, to excel, and to succeed in it.
All areas are essential, hence will benefit from all
All skills help you to relate better with your team and clients. For instance in my nature of work, I check on clients that I notice their patronage is low or no more. As a result of this, I understand the reason for the low patronage and how I can improve on giving them value and satisfaction which in turn helps in more profit for my organization.
As a Project Manager, I will say that all the six skills are essential project management skills.
Therefore, I believe the possession of these skills cannot be over emphasised and daily efforts towards upholding them should be of paramount interest.
On this note, I consider the six skills (Communication, Negotiation, Time management, Understanding the regulatory environment, Ethics and adherence to standards and Continual professionals development) critical and essential to me in my daily activities as a Project Manager.
