Management & Interpersonal skills

Submitted by Antoine D on Sun, 09/30/2012 - 18:55

I have a hard time differentiating those two set of skills.

i.e. PMBOK considers the following skills as management one: "presentation, negotiating, writing, and public speaking skills" (p264)

Interpersonal skills is your ability to deal and influence the people

Management is about effective application of management skills, for sake of PMP, you can consider this as application of 9 Knowledge areas. In addition presentation, negotiation, written communication, Public speaking are soft skills required to be good manager.

 Thanks for you feedback

You said:"In addition presentation, negotiation, written communication, Public speaking are soft skills required to be good manager." 

It seems that those skills are both management skills and soft/interpersonal skills, but we consider them as management skills if a question ask for the category of those skills ...
