They tend to connect with other people effortlessly, they seem to know the right things to say and they make communication in general an easy process. Interpersonal skills are one of those things that we really notice when someone lacks it. When we're in new or awkward situations or when we imagine that there are rules of behavior that everyone else seems to know but us. Mastering interpersonal skills is very essential in today’s globalized business world.

Interpersonal skills are not only required for running a business but also one of the key components of performance appraisal.

The resolution to the conflict could have been resolved better by using efficient methods of communicating between the actors. Verbal and non-verbal communications were not used to the scripts best advantage. The ability to listen, along with the use of problem solving skills, were not used effectively. We must remember this is a comedy series, involving several characters with different perceptions of what reality is. The conflicts in this particular episode revolves around empathy, and the actions and reactions, involving one of the characters temporary sickness.
