Introduction
The intent of this PowerPoint Presentation is
to present a discussion related to the three subjects
that are interpersonal skills, communication skills,
and time management. The discussion in the
presentation is based on the definition, advantages,
and disadvantages of these three subjects.

Interpersonal Skills
Interpersonal skills are the behaviors as well
as qualities that an individual exhibits at the time of
communicating or interacting with other people.
Interpersonal skills are also called to be the soft
skills of an individual. Strong interpersonal skills are
considered to be the main indicator of success in an
environment. Some of the skills are emotional
intelligence, communication, reliability, leadership,
positivity, etc. (Whitcomb & Whitcomb, 2012).

Advantages

individual to be successful in their personal as well
as professional life as it helps them in working more
efficiently for the team, effectively make and
maintain strong social bonds, helps in developing a
feeling of empathy. For example, good
communication skill helps an individual to negotiate
properly with the opposite party and at the same
time, the empathy skills help in understanding the
benefits of others during a negotiation.

Disadvantages
The interpersonal skills help an individual to
develop and maintain good social relationships with
others in personal life as well as in professional life.
However, this relationship pressurizes an individual
to reveal their weakness and vulnerabilities in front
of others which can result in a negative impact in
the long term at a workplace as a backfire (Kimathi,
2014). Besides this, close relationships also
increase an individual’s obligations towards others.

Communication Skills
Communication skills are called as the
abilities of an individual that is used at the type of
sending and receiving the message of information
to other people. Some of the examples are the
communication of the new idea or opinion at the
workplace, update of the project, information
related to changes or modifications at the
workplace (Angelo, 2014). These types of skills
involve observing, listening, empathizing, and
speaking.

Advantages

help to foster trust among other people. Attentively
listening to a conversation and accordingly replying
and presenting the opinions help others to trust that
an individual can make proper decisions for the
business (Neal, 2014).

Advantages
Resolving issues – Communication skills
perform a huge role in solving the issues and
conflicts in the workplace. The key here is to stay
calm and ensure that all the involved parties are
being heard and getting a solution.

Disadvantages
Sensitivity – Too much communication can
also result in leaking of sensitive information to the
competitors. This becomes very dangerous at the
time of organizational changes or developing a new
product for the business.

Disadvantages
Miscommunication – This is the most
possible downfall to offer too much communication.
When an individual gets involves in deep
communication there is a possibility that a mistake
can take place and a message can be
communicated that was not planned.

Time Management
Time management is the procedure of
exercising and planning conscious management of
time that is spent on a particular activity, mainly to
augment efficiency and productivity. It is comprised
of a juggling act to different demands on a person
relating to social life, hobbies, commitments, work,
and personal interests (Forster, 2014).

Advantages

time management is decreasing stress levels. As it
is known that stress is the result of disturbing work
schedules, therefore if all the activities are timely
managed then it helps in reducing the level of
stress (Tracy, 2014). But to get better results in is
