Why are you thinking about improving your interpersonal skills?

'The rules for work are changing.  We are judged by a new yardstick: not by how smart we are, or by our training and expertise, but also by how well we handle ourselves and each other.  This yardstick is increasingly applied in choosing who will be employed and who will not, who will be let go and who retained, who passed over and who is to be promoted'.  Daniel Goleman, Working with Emotional Intelligence.

What do you do at work all day?

Take a critical view of the job descriptions in your organisation or even your own job description.  The first third describes the academic or business skills required by  candidates and the other two thirds will generally describe the inter and intra personal skills expected.  It is also suggested that one third of your day is employing your technical or business skills and the rest is spent persuading and influencing people to get the job done.
