4. Improving your people skills

When I pass a mirror, I often check how I look. Vanity? Probably. Yet, it may tell me to straighten my tie or tidy my hair. But, what I need more than a snapshot of my appearance is a mirror showing me how I behave; and, its impact on others. Let me put this in context.

In a survey of leaders, respondents told me their most common problem was dealing with difficult employees. People, who didn't want to sign-on, cooperate and pull their weight. This is interesting, since the only thing a leader has to have is followers. So, if they're opting out, you're not really their leader. Hands up if you've ever had this problem! I have - and realised (after some painful self-examination) that I was the "difficult" one and needed significantly to broaden and soften my views. So, what can you do in similar circumstances? That's what this Action Pack is about.

• Understand and engage people as individuals
• Show self-awareness and appropriate responses

Core message: create chemistry.

Who is this for?

This Action Pack is helpful for any leader, who tends to be too task-focused and overlooks the needs of their people. Or, holds over-strong or inflexible views. I empathise with this one! IQ and self-reliance are important but EQ is possibly even more fundamental to success.

What is included?

As with each of our nine thematic Packs, this one contains a total of seven articles. Four address specific aspects of IMPROVING YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS - with action suggestions, check-up questions, etc. Three shorter ones provide more general background and checklists. Above all, there's a format for the creation of your own action plan.
