Social skills are defined as an individual’s ability to use interpersonal skills and behaviors that are pleasing to others in social interactions. Social skills are important in an individual's life because they often are a good indicator of future success in your professional development and career.
In this episode Mzwandile shares eight social skills that are critical to every leader:
Be proactive: you’re in charge
Begin with the end in mind: have a plan
Put first things first: play first, then work
Think win-win: everyone can win
Seek first to understand, then to be understood: listen before you talk
Synergize: together is better
Reward yourself: balance feels best
Being indistractable: being able to focus entirely on the task at hand—no mind-wandering about the phone or the newest show on TV.
