...1 Purpose of Interpersonal Skills In Effective Performance Appraisal 1.0 INTRODUCTION When asked what is Interpersonal skills, the answers quite straight forward, people interacting with other people, that's what interpersonal skill means. We all start doing it from the moment we're born. And if all goes well as we grow up, we get more skilled at communicating our wants and needs, our feelings and thoughts. We also learn to interpret other people’s feelings in turn, so that in adulthood we are aware of how our behavior impacts on others. People with good interpersonal skills are easy to be around. 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. As communication is the corners stones of modern business, how are we supposed to survive and thrive when we can’t communicate with our peers?

Nelson January 1, 2016 Relationship conflicts happen in television, just as they happen in everyday life. As in life, one can see interpersonal conflict in television that could have been resolved in a better way. I noticed interpersonal conflict in a television episode of "The Big Bang Theory" titled "The Empathy Optimization". Kaplan, E., Holland, S., Molaro, S., Lorre, C., & Cohen, R. (Executive producers).

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. The sick persons’ empathic friends took into consideration their sick friends perspective, as well as his thoughts and feelings.
