Communication is the basis for any relationship - it can make or break it. A project depends on several human components - customers, management, stakeholders, various dependency groups, direct teams, and so forth. All these components depend on the project manager to pass information back and forth.

A message wrongly communicated has just as much adverse effect (if not more) as a message not communicated at all.

It's not just communication skill that is required, but also effective communication. Knowing the audiance and communicating in a manner that not only helps the receipant understand your message or thought, but also helps understand the message without any adverse impacts.
