How are your people skills? Are you able to negotiate a contract with confidence? When a conflict breaks out in your business, do you know what to do?
Without people skills, as you may have noticed, it’s near impossible to run a successful company. With them, on the other hand, you can’t help but succeed.
“Again, concise and to the point…so easy to read! It’s obvious to me (now) after struggling in business for many, many years; that, the REAL reason why people are ‘held back’, even when they are great at what they do, is due to their lack of interpersonal skills! It really is a career killer.” – Donovan Smith
“Great article. I just get so frustrated with people sometimes because they can’t communicate properly, but neither can I. So arguments just become escalated. Anyway, I find this site SO helpful and I hope you continue to educate people on effective communication.” - Krista Brown
“My company preaches, “You can teach job skills, you can’t teach interpersonal skills!” We’ve had to let people go who were ok at the work but just could not get along with the other staff after a decent period of time, even though companies may not be willing to spend time teaching these skills to new recruits. You’ve hit the nail on the head with this article.” – Jeremy
These are some of the comments left by some of the hundreds of people that visit Melissa Contreras’ blogs everyday.
