According to Carnegie Institute of Technology research IQ by itself, does not predict financial nor career success. We all know lots of really smart people who have been bested by someone who can not match their intellect. Brains and superior technical skills are no match for someone with average brains and technical skills and who also has superior people skills.
It amazes me how little time is spent in business schools teaching people skills. It has also occurred to me that they should also teach a course in "How to be likeable" because....
This is what my course, blog and soon to be released book 'Power Persuasion' are all about. Learning how to communicate, negotiate, lead and infuence. To teach you how to be gain; respect, trust and likeability. These are skills are fun and easy to learn and even more fun to teach to others.
