Off the top of your head, what are the most important skills any good community manager should have? During an argument with my mom, all I could say about this new job I'm about to start is that I have a creative spirit and I am able to drive impact.

I say excellent organizational skills, patience, loyalty, and empathetic understanding.

I would say the top skills are: intuitive vision, business savvy, and have an analytical mind.

Communication skills come first, in my opinion. Then organizational and project management skills, market research skills, and adaptability.

Those are important skills as well, OP. You can master the others as you go along. Best of luck!

Communication skills, management skills, leadership skills, and organizational skills. The skills you've said to your mom are considered important as well.

Patience! You need it to survive and last long. I consider it a skill so that's counted right?

You are not wrong about it. They are pretty useful skills. Just keep a positive mind and attitude :)

Hi all! I need some candid advice from y'all. How do I get my manager to see my value and see that I'm actually doing a lot of work? For some reason all the other departments & teams I work with always say how grateful they are that I've joined the company because I've really been cleaning things up & making their lives way easier. But for some reason in my manager's eyes all I do is "meets expectations". I already am doing senior level work as the only senior on our team left a month in... (1)
