What does it take to win success and influence? Some people think that in today’s hypercompetitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author and Likeable Local CEO, Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day:
• Those who build the right relationships.
• Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners.
• Those who can teach, lead, and inspire.
These are the founding principles of THE ART OF PEOPLE: 11 SIMPLE PEOPLE SKILLS THAT WILL GET YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT (On Sale March 15. 2016; $27; Crown Business).
In a world where we are constantly connected and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. No matter who you are or what your profession, success is contingent not only on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you.
THE ART OF PEOPLE offers 53 bite-size, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. Often accompanied by personal anecdotes from Kerpen’s own learning experiences, these insightful tips include:
The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting
The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about
How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, every day
Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news
How to blow off the right people
And why, when in doubt, buy him or her a Bonsai
THE ART OF PEOPLE is filled with practical ideas and concrete steps to communicate more effectively with the people around us, but also seeks to teach us about ourselves. Guided by the principle that self-awareness is a fundamental building block for connecting with others, Kerpen introduces a method to discovering our strengths and recognizing and improving our weaknesses. By following his clear step-by-step process toward understanding ourselves, we can more easily master the people skills that Kerpen finds essential to influencing others.
A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” THE ART OF PEOPLE shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.
