of the employees, delegating workload and
being decisive are certain core factors that
are required to be considered while a leader
is leading or managing a team
(Vijayalakshmi, 2016). Moreover,
conducting meeting or discussion sessions
would also help the employees to open up
with their problems and also contribute their
viewpoints to a particular situation.
Leadership style like democratic leadership
style as per the name suggests, herein this
type of style, the leaders take input from
each of the team members before making a
decision. This process helps leaders to make
effective decisions and this type of
leadership is among the best leadership
styles as the executives or employees of
lower level are also able to gain authority to
express their views and contribute towards
the decision making process of their
organisation (Schulze & Krumm, 2017).
Moreover, if there is a lack of
communication, there would take place
misunderstandings and inappropriate
dissemination of information would also
impose a significant impact on the
organisation performance and productivity.

not feel the sense of job satisfaction and this

Considering a leader who is
associated with handing and taking
participation in a team, it is necessary for
them to be a good listener, complementing,
delegate tasks with clarity, managing
meetings and ensure positive verbal and
non-verbal communication, with this, they
would be able to engage themselves with the
employees that would result in active
participation of the employees into different
activities (Miller, 2019). Employee
engagement and employee motivation is
along with necessary to be maintained by
the leaders and the top level management of
the organisation. There are instances where
leaders are autocratic in their approach
where they do not understand the necessity
of seeking assistance or making the
employees take part in the decision making
process. This might affect their performance
and might also affect their personality traits.
For instance, considering the change of
working hours or delegating someone else’s
work to the other one might be hegemonic
for them and this might compel them to take
a drastic step regarding their job and this
might cause an issue for the higher level of
management (Jena & Satpathy, 2017).
III. ADVANTAGES OF
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS FOR
HANDLING, LEADING AND
PARTICIPATING IN A TEAM
Interpersonal skills are effective for
letting an individual to communicate with
others and apart from communication; the
set of interpersonal skills also includes
active listening, teamwork, responsibility,
dependability, flexibility, empathy and
patience (Srivastava & Yadav, 2017). It is
necessary for leaders or managers who are
working in a corporate environment to
ensure that they possess the mentioned set of
interpersonal skills so as to avoid corporate
pressure. It would act as an asset to handle
and navigate day to day activities and tasks.
Strong interpersonal skills like empathy,
understanding and evaluating, presenting,
written communication, diplomacy,
persuasion and negotiation are certain
another set of skills that are possessed by the
leaders while they are handling a team. In
order to handle a team effectively, it is
necessary for leaders to have emotional
intelligence, conflict resolving skills,
empathy and building consensus and
appropriate communication (Krumm et al.,
2016). For instance, there might be a clash

of viewpoints of a senior employee and a
junior employee, henceforth, it is necessary
for the leaders in such cases to solve the
conflicts and settle the matter on a mutual
basis (Ferrar et al., 2018). Fostering
interpersonal relationships with the
employees at times might also be used to
motivate the employees. Moreover, the
leaders are required to handle the team
members with strong self-confidence,
maintaining the work ethics, relationship
management and sheer collaboration the
leaders and managers would be able to
acquire knowledge regarding the thinking of
the employees and accordingly solve their
issues through discussion sessions or
meetings (Hansen, 2016). Along with this,
being determinant and persistent would
also help the leaders to honestly handle the
social situations and adopt appropriate
strategies like key performance indicators,
performance appraisals, reward systems,
360 degree feedback, management by
objectives (MBO), personal development
plans (PDPs) and similar others for
analysing the performance of the employees
so as to avoid mistakes or misinterpretation
of information to eliminate any negative
impact on the organisational performance
and productivity or handle the employee
retention rate (Skinner et al., 2016).
