My Weekly Reminder

A growing body of research is showing that the old adage “nice guys finish last” is simply not true.  A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review found that being likable–making those around you feel good about themselves–is more important to your success than how competent you are.  Citing this study and other research, a recent article article in USA Today stated that likable people are favored by their coworkers, have a profound positive influence on customers and are more likely to get bigger pay raises and promotions.  This means that if you aren’t nice, the opposite is true.  So, make being nice part of who you are.  Doing so will not only make you feel great, but it will put money in your pocket as well.

Book Update

My new book, REVVED!  An Incredible Way to Rev Up Your Workplace and Achieve Amazing Results, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.   It will be in bookstores on April 15, 2006.
