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 best-selling author 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. 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. Because no matter who you are or what profession you’re in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 people skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: • 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, to buy him a bonsaiA 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. Critic Reviews”People skills – they can’t be computerized, outsourced, or reduced to a rubric. That’s why Dave Kerpen’s The Art of People is more important now than ever – this book will teach you a set of irreplaceable skills that will help you in every area of your life. After all, what is more important – what will get you farther in life – than understanding and getting along with other people?” (Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive)”Strong people skills are how I built my business. I find it’s a common thread amongst all successful people, and no matter what level your people skills are at today, after reading this book you will see a dramatic improvement!” (Barbara Corcoran, star of ABC’s Shark Tank, entrepreneur, & author of Shark Tales)”Smart, funny, and immediately usable. In our fast paced world, we educate and train on technical skills, but neglect the greatest predictors of success: your ability to connect and influence others. In short, this is one of the few books that might actually get you a promotion, or a successful company of your own.” (Shawn Achor, happiness researcher and New York Times best-selling author of The Happiness Advantage)
