Do You Have the People Skills Required for a Successful Career?

Successfully working with other people requires skill and a certain amount of savvy.  The book Job-portunity: Your Career GPS features an entire chapter dedicated to "Perfecting Your People Skills".  Here are a few key strategies for developing your people skills. 

Be Humble

The key to developing great people skills is putting others ahead of yourself.  Making others feel important, heard and valued is truly the key to your success when it comes to developing relationships.  The key is to employ humble behavior strategically.  When you are in the midst of conflict with someone else, go to them as humbly as you would like for them to come to you. He who plants humility usually reaps a greater gain.

 

Mutual Respect

Establishing  mutual respect is a key foundational building block in any relationship.  Establishing mutual respect should become the priority when trying to build relationships with others.  The best ways to establish mutual respect is to acknowledge the abilities, accomplishments, and contributions of others while behaving in a manner that is collaborative and communicating in a way that is inclusive.
