Nobody wants to rub shoulders with people they dislike, let alone work and surpass oneself for their benefit.While we can’t please everyone, it does not prevent us from being pleasant.
A manager who is not considered as "friendly" by his staff will never get the best from his team. To positively impact our environment, technical expertise is necessary but is far from being sufficient.
People who are the most fulfilled and successful have this little "extra" which makes them attractive and capable of establishing a following and social support.
This little "extra" corresponds to their ability to establish a positive emotional connection, thus gaining the sympathy
of others while remaining true to themselves.
This skill is called likability, and all the great positive leaders are endowed with it.
To be "likable" is to be able to rapidly create healthy, simple and pleasant relationships
with everyone.
In a company where managers and collaborators are "super likable", the working atmosphere and
long-term performance are greatly enhanced.
