NEED FOR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

• Today’s work needs good networking skills.

• Families stay as nuclear. Help is scarce.
• Friends change faster than your toothpaste.
• Colleagues change faster than friends.
• Customers / all others - now call up and ask rather than
wait for you to complete the work.
• Hierarchy is flattened so your co-workers increase.
• Your team interacts with other teams.
• People work as a team.
• Because teams achieve more.
• Collective intellect is very effective for all types of
problems.
• To grow faster you will need all the help you can get.

 INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

• Effectively translating and conveying

information.
• Being able to accurately interpret
other people's emotions.
• Being sensitive to other people's feelings.
• Calmly arriving at resolutions to conflict.
• Avoiding gossip.
• Being polite.

IMPROVE YOUR Inter-Personal SKILLS BY:
• Self Promotion.
– Promote yourself effectively.
– Understand your features and benefits (your strengths and how to
use them) and
learn how to express them. (SMILE and ASK)
• Communications.
– Communicate effectively.
– Good communications are invaluable in any situation. Be articulate,
concise, enthusiastic, honest, open. Use language with which you
are comfortable but make sure it is powerful.
– Don't forget the other side of communicating: listening. This is as
important as speaking. Don't make the mistake so many people do.
Rather than listening, they spend their time thinking of the next
thing they are going to say, thus taking virtually nothing in at all.
• Think Creatively.
– Solve problems and maximize opportunities with innovative ideas.
Rarely does an answer present itself in back and white. You have to
assemble it, create it, and think it through.

• Follow through.
– Follow through on your commitments, both to yourself and others.
A good referral or piece of advice only becomes activated into help
when you follow it up.
• Record keeping.
– Take full and accurate notes. Otherwise, you will never remember
what you've committed to do. Keep lists, schedules, cross-
referenced files.
– Write reminder notes about people you've met on the back of their
business cards. Remember to keep your business cards in your
right pocket and collected cards in your left pocket, this way you
don't give out someone else's card.
• Organization.
– Organize yourself: your thoughts, your notes, your files, your time.
This takes time in the short run, but will save you tenfold in the
long run. Use a good database, organize by category and use
codes for easy identification.
• Teamwork.
– Work hard for others and the rewards will come back to you ten
times over. www.enercon.de
