Inter personal skills-do you think you have them?

No kala. I am a total failure there. I do not believe in having sycophants around me which means I totally depend on my performance in any field to project my image and in the absence of sycophants it is a very difficult task to get a place one rightly deserves. When this happens how can one be an expert at inter personal relationships?. There is always that feeling of inadequacy. The only solution to it would be to move with the tide and be one with society norms even at the cost of one's own principles. Just a thought.

Hi kalav, Inter Personal things are that define your attitude. We tend to be more friendlier towards ones and just a ok ok with some others? Why this has to speak all for themselves. Does not it bear an ego ridden self? I do not mean one has to mean himself/herself to show respect to others' feelings and moods nor at the same time you should be a loser as well.

Interpersonal skills are the skills that a person uses to interact with other people. Interpersonal skills are sometimes also referred to as people skills or communication skills.Interpersonal skills involve using skills such as active listening and tone of voice, they include delegation and leadership. It is how well you communicate with someone and how well you behave or carry yourself. Also they help people further their careers.i have to deals with emotions of patients many times and many times i do succeed in communicating well.

I am a person who always like to mingle with people. I need people always wherever I go. Hence from my childhood I have learnt the nature of many types of people, how to talk to them, what will be their reactions for any comment or talk etc. Since I was a working lady, my interactions with other people was natural and necessary. This also helped me in developing my interpersonal skills etc.

I have been told that i have enough interpersonal skills, but there are some place where i lag and i need to be improved. Many told, that i have good attitude, but i need to improve in my dressing skills, i was brought up in an urban culture, when i go for an interview, i need to be dressed in formals, but i don't follow the dress code.. I have undergone a personality interpersonal skill test and have obtained an average score.. I have to improve some!!

thats quit intriging, and i commend your post because it tends to bring out the real us. but what i have learnt is that, people tends to bring out their talent when they found themselves in the worst possible position only. yes becuase i have seen a case where some one initially would not want to do what he did to escape in the normal state but just because he saw how dangerous it would be to be caught. he device a means to disguise and that is talent even if its sound illegal. in other words what i am saying is that, most people tend to exercise their talent or show them only when they are in danger.

I absolutely support your views that inter personal skill greatly determines one's success in a career.While working in a team,it is important that one needs to understand the individual traits,tastes and temperaments and mould one's behavior to suit the group spirit and dynamics.The habit of getting along with people of diverse traits and personalities is to be cultivated by all those who aspire to progress in their career path. However,it is not an easy task for many who are closely concerned with their individual self and inherently introvert.I have never failed in any occasion to freely mix and get along with people of diverse characters and nature,anywhere.Thanks.

I'm not sure about my interpersonal skills. I am a people person and do get along easily with most people...and can adjust to most kinds too...at work or even at social settings. The only people that I find out of place with is the new generation of IT professionals...who seem to be neither here nor there or keep pretending to be 'foreigners' after returning from the US or Uk after a year or two there (and sometimes even when they have been there for just 2-3 months!). I do interact with these people....but generally feel out of place though no one has told me anything directly. At work, I have been told that my interpersonal skills are good. I've been able to work in a team and get the work done from people who don't get along with each other:)

Having a good public relation skill is one of the main criteria to succeed not only in career but also in business. Humans are known to be social beings for their active interaction with one another but some are naturally reserved who always keep to themselves and shun the outside world. It is a pity that they do not mingle with the public thus making them public outcast. I am fortunate to be born with a 'thick face and a big mouth'. It is easy to break the ice when you are well read as you can reach out to people of all levels as you will then have many interesting conversations to share. While here in Australia I met a nice lady while jogging. Instantly I was able to strike a good conversation with her and was I not surprise when she invited me to her house for tea and learned that she is no ordinary woman but an English professor in one of the University here. We shared so much of interesting conversation on her travels and her career.

I think that I have them, but I am fairly shy and need to feel comfortable before I can be myself. Sometimes it seems I get a long with co workers fairly well, but the last couple of jobs I have had, I have not been well liked, much to my dismay.

Hi kala, I have always been good at interaction with others but the only problem is that sometimes I can be very blunt in expressing my views.Most of my close relatives and friends are ok with it because they know me very well, but for some new acquaintance it may seem as being arrogance or high handed attitude. But my friends never think that of me in spite of my probing and asking them to be truthful about their feelings about me ...Honestly kala I don't think that I would be willing to change at this stage of my life and as long as My close and loved ones understand me...

Hi Kalav, Interpersonal skill for me is our capability to interact with people and it is evaluated by how they react in response. I can say that I probably acquire such skill for every time I am evaluated with the people I'm working with, lucky me, it's always positive. The secret? Perhaps we just have to be considerate with the feelings of others and always try to put ourselves in someone else's shoes in every situation... mutual respect is always of relevance.

Hi, I believe, inter personal skill are very important for everyone to succeed in business, career and in personal life. I am very poor in those skills, now my business associate shows me a very big organization were they teach the inter personal and leadership qualities. Thanks you.

I could say I do for myelf, because I always try to maintain positive relations towards people, let it be a stranger, I'll do my best. Also I do not mind helping and trying new things. I think it's important we stay positive, because none likes negative and rude people.

Hi Kala! I can say with conviction that I have good inter personal skills or shall I say inter-personal relations with those who come in contact with me or vice versa, be it my colleagues in my office, my family, my relatives and my near and dear ones. I try to maintain positive relations with everyone. In fact, in office, at the end of every year our annual assessment report are written by our superiors (bosses) and I invariably get 'outstanding' grade in that area (please do not think am bragging ). I have wonderful inter-personal relations with my colleagues, superior and juniors and am ready to help others and do not mind taking initiative to accomplish a new task.

Yes, I have them, although I am sometimes a bit selective as to how I use them.

Hi, Kala, I think I have these skills. I can easily communicate with people and make them understand what I want to say. I think it gets you more friends in life.People will love you for your skill.

When I was working in the bank we all received a lot of training in regards to ‘people skills’ etc. it was all so we could sell more of course! I am not so sure that social skills can be taught; sure we can learn manners and proper etiquette but if a person is the type who relates well to others I think it’s a personality and environmental issue. I have been taught many social ‘techniques’ but nothing beats being myself in these situations. What can be learned and changed is attitude and compassion towards one another I guess.

I think it all depends from person to person and like everything else in life takes practice to communicate with people and the more you are in the company of others the better you get at it. I am good at it as I spend most of my days amongst people, as a waiter this is the perfect practice.

i am still so young . so many times i miss so many good chances because of my personal skills .i am wrong because of my wrong method to speak with someone . i will change it day by day ,just waiting good friends' good advice . thank you .
