Communication, organization, and project management are all at the top of the list. It's impossible to choose just one because there are many different skills that make a successful community manager!
Those are all super important. I agree!
One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of companies say "Community Manager" when they mean "social media manager". It can help a lot to discover what they mean when they say "community manager". I've found that in several of my job interviews, I was actually educating the hiring manager about the role (and that helped me land my current role in a big way). Being confident that you know what a community manager should be is a big help.
Good luck!
Communication is the first thing on the list. As a community manager you need to create better relationship with the people so you will know how to handle their conflicts better. Better skills in communication will help you in building their interest and trust which is one of your goals as a community manager.
Patience. To handle all the terrible comments and not want to throw their laptop out the window
I'd say communication skills. Your other skills will help you last in this industry. But your communication skills will help you succeed and even advance more.
Excellent organizational skills. You will have a lot on your plate and having above-average organizational skills will help you stay ahead of your game.
