Met a civil servant who works in transport over the weekend. She didn't mention his social skills, but did say Grayling was a bit of a pain to work under as he is really into transport - it is his dream job. SAD!
At the same dinner was someone who sets counter-terrorism response protocols for the emergency services who was interesting but could barely get a word in as there was also a complete bore who talked over everyone else.

The few I know that've worked with Gove (civil servants, not tories) have had generally positive opinions. They don't necessarily agree with his ideas but he seems intelligent, diligent and pretty progressive in a lot of ways. Quite an asset, assuming he's not sticking a knife in your back at the time.
Grayling, apparently, has zero social skills and is painful to be in a room with at the same time.
