Preface
What does it mean to be a leader in business? Leaders are those the community looks to for inspiration, and if we seek to walk in their shoes, we must begin our journey with the basics of interpersonal skills. Without a clear understanding of how best to communicate with others, it’s nearly impossible to cultivate a reputation as a reliable partner, trustworthy boss, or credible business professional.
In the following pages, you’ll find the information needed to enhance your knowledge of what it means to be an effective communicator and how best to establish a reputation as a leader in today’s fast-paced, highly competitive business environment. We’ll discuss tactics for increased understanding among business associates and problem solving in the workplace.
When you begin to use these tactics in your own career, you’ll notice a difference in the way people respond to you almost instantly. More than that, you’ll be better able to negotiate deals, reach difficult compromises, and benefit from the rapport you build with those around you. You’ll be a better listener and a better communicator, enhancing your business skills to a degree previously unimaginable.
As we become more comfortable using our newfound interpersonal skills, they will become increasingly apparent to our family and friends. Strong interpersonal skills aren’t left at the office when five o’clock rolls around – knowing how to communicate with other people transforms us into gracious hosts, reliable friends, and all-around friendly faces. When we learn how to express strong interpersonal skills, we exude confidence.
