organizational goals.”

6. A skilled business manager must be able to manage
— he/she must also be able to delegate, spearhead
new ideas and assess business successes and
failures. However, to be able to do any of this
successfully, a business manager must be able to
communicate. According to the Psychologically
Healthy Workplace Program, "Communication plays
a key role in the success of any workplace program
or policy." Business managers who know how to
communicate successfully may improve the chance
of success of the program/area that they're
managing.
