Whatever your job or career, your reputation is one of the most
important assets you could have. You must be likeable to be able to
enter into and develop a relationship with others. Unless you are able
to develop relationships it will be very difficult for you to advance in
almost any endeavor. People must like you if they are going to trust
you and want to cooperate or do business with you, which means that
being able to build relationships is the number one reason for success
in every area of life!
There are two key questions that you must ask yourself to be able to evaluate whether or not you pass the personality test. They are:
a) Are you able to easily get along with people from all backgrounds and walks of life?
b) Are you able to forgive those who may have wronged you?
Your answer should be a confident 'yes' to both of these questions. You must be able to pass this dual test on both counts to be able to comfortably move forward in any relationship. As already indicated, the more others like you the more likely they will be to collaborate with you.
Following is a list of 10 points that, if implemented, will help to develop a likeable personality:
i) Show yourself as being friendly - to have a friend, you must first be a friend. Support and encourage others.
ii) Smile - show yourself as being happy. Others gravitate towards those that exude joy.
iii) Have a positive mental attitude - look for the good and positive in everyone and in every situation. Don't criticize or complain.
iv) Make others feel important - give them of your time and of your complete attention so that they feel more valuable.
v) Use manners at all times - be polite, respectful and courteous.
vi) Ask questions - ask about family and hobbies. Ask for the other person's opinion to make them feel valued.
vii) Listen - listen attentively without interrupting.
viii) Be agreeable - if the other person gives his view or opinion on something, never tell him/her that they are wrong. If you must disagree about something, use questions or examples to communicate your point (i.e. How about if you do it this way? Have you thought about this? A friend of mine did it this way and they found it to be much easier).
ix) Compliment and praise - compliment others on achievements. Praise will always bring out the best in others, and encourage them to do more and push themselves further.
x) Show gratitude - appreciate the people and things around you.
The more emphasis you put on developing a likeable personality, the easier it will be to build relationships with others. Always keep in mind that the ability to forge relationships with others is the key to building a successful career and life. Resolve to make the effort to become a likeable person that gets along with everyone. As your relationships grow, watch positive things happen in your life!
