Improve Your People Skills
 

Want to get along with people inside and outside the office? Here’s how.

  • Always say less than you think. When you do say something, remember that how you say it is sometimes more important than what you actually say.
  • Don’t make too many promises and faithfully fulfill the ones you do.
  • Always find something encouraging to say about someone.
  • Be interested in others.
  • Be cheerful. Don’t burden people with your minor aches and pains.
  • Keep an open mind.
  • Let your virtues speak for themselves.
  • Be careful of another’s feelings.
  • Don’t pay any attention to negative remarks made about you.
  • Do your best and be patient. Your time will come.
