- 3. What is Interpersonal skills Interpersonal Skills are the life skills we use every day to communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups. People who have worked on developing strong interpersonal skills are usually more successful in both their professional and personal lives.
- 4. In the workplace interpersonal skills are very important for getting and keeping organizational business growth or team performance graph high. Most of the cases we find that people are not aware or don't try to give focus to get improve self interpersonal skills within the team at the workplace. As a result the expected outcomes among the team not achieved. In my last 15 years experience I have observed that due to the lacking of individual's positive attitudes, IS cannot be improved at workplace. I have gathered some points and mentioned below. I believe these points would be effective if we can follow at our work place for improving our workplace interpersonal skills to meet the team goal. MyObservation?
- 5. PUT ON A HAPPY FACE People who are the life of the party usually have one thing in common: They're happy. If you smile often and have an upbeat attitude, your coworkers will be drawn to you. And when you're having a bad day, don't try to pull others down with you. You may find that people pass you by in favor of those with a more cheerful outlook.
- 6. SHOW THAT YOU CARE When it comes to praise, don't hold back the applause. If a coworker has done something you appreciate -- no matter how small -- thank them for it. Identify at least one attribute you value in each of your coworkers, and let them know about it. Give colleagues a warm welcome whenever they call you or visit your office.
- 7. BE RESPECTFUL OF COLLEAGUES Take note of what's happening with your coworkers. Recognize the happy events in their lives -- from a birthday to a kid's kindergarten graduation -- and be sure to show your genuine compassion when they face any personal tragedy.
- 8. BE AN ACTIVE LISTENER Unfortunately, active listening is becoming a lost art. Being an active listener shows that you intend to both hear and recognize another's perspective. Using your own words, repeat what the speaker has said. By doing this, you'll know that you've processed their words, and they'll realize that your answers have been genuinely thought out.
- 9. PROMOTE TOGETHERNESS Help coworkers thrive by creating a friendly, cooperative environment. Treat everyone the same, not like they're part of a hierarchy, and don't act like one person's opinion is more important than another's. Don't gossip about your colleagues. Always consider your coworkers' suggestions.
- 10. SETTLE DISPUTES You know how to bring people together, and now it's time to become the person they can turn to when disputes arise. When colleagues disagree, it can bring the mood of the whole office down, but you can improve the situation by taking on the role of moderator.
- 11. BE A GREAT COMMUNICATOR In addition to being an active listener, you need to have otherwise great communication skills. When in a discussion with colleagues, don't blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Instead, think carefully about the words you use.
- 12. Make them laugh Funny people are popular for a reason, so if you've got a great funny bone, use it. As long as you avoid inappropriate jokes and don't laugh off serious situations, you'll find your colleagues will be drawn to you.
- 13. An empathetic person can understand how another person feels, and empathy is an important trait when working with others.
- 14. DON'T BE A WHINER Almost every office has a chronic complainer, and you'll notice they tend to be the least popular person in the office. If you constantly whine about this and that, your negativity will push others away from you.
