Читать книгу Interpersonal Savvy: Building and Maintaining Solid Working Relationships - Meena Wilson - Страница 7

IN BRIEF

Interpersonal savvy is the ability to build and maintain solid working relationships with your superiors, colleagues, and direct reports. It helps you make the most out of everyday interactions, using skills such as good listening, empathy, sincerity, and teamwork. Your behaviors shape how others perceive you in the workplace, and a firm knowledge of interpersonal savvy will allow you to best shape those perceptions to achieve the greatest results. Self-awareness of the positive qualities you want to demonstrate, combined with specific actions to implement those qualities, will lead to positive outcomes in how others view and interact with you. One thing to watch out for is taking a good quality too far—for example, letting your self-respect become arrogance. Being on the lookout for these scenarios and taking the time to implement more positive alternatives will further help to raise your interpersonal skills. By continuing to develop interpersonal savvy, whether you think you have the skills or not, you will become a more thoughtful, friendly, approachable, and trustworthy leader who can achieve results.
