The ability to clearly relate the facility's goals to the staff is an example of:

• A. people skills
• B. communication skills
• C. conceptual skills
• D. technical skills

Answer: (B)

Clear communication of a facility’s goals to staff is being tested. It involves clearly articulating what the organization aims to achieve and explaining how each team member’s daily tasks contribute to those aims, while checking for understanding and buy-in. This is the essence of communication skills—the ability to convey information, expectations, and rationale so others can act on it effectively.

While people skills cover interpersonal interactions, the specific action described focuses on transmitting and clarifying goals to others. Conceptual skills are about seeing the big picture and how parts fit together, and technical skills are the hands-on abilities to perform tasks.
