THE ART OF PEOPLE – 11 SIMPLE PEOPLE SKILLS THAT WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT
BY DAVE KERPEN
The Art of People is a guide written by Dave Kerpen on how to manage some of the most important people and relationships in your life. Kerpen emphasises that people matter. They matter more than anything, in managing your job, career, life, and relationship.
In a world where we are constantly connected, it’s those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who others like, respect and trust.
The Art of People reveals the eleven people skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home and in life. Accessible, easy to execute and often counter-intuitive, these include:
– The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting
– Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news
– How to get everyone to want to be around you, with one word
No matter who you are or what profession you’re in, The Art of People will show you how to charm and win over anyone.
Dave also talks about the art of persistence. As he describes it, “persistence is trying until you drop.” In 2001, Dave was a sales rep for Radio Disney. He was trying to reach a potential client by phone, (back then this was they main vehicle for connecting). Dave called and called and called some more – ultimately leaving 36 messages – when on the 37th call, she finally answered the phone. That call led to a sale and a $10,000 commission and taught him about persistence.
The 11 Skills To Master The Art Of People
- Understanding yourself
- Understanding people
- Meeting the right people
- Connecting with people
- Influencing people
- Changing people’s minds
- Teaching people
- Leading people
- Resolving conflict with people
- Inspiring people
- Keeping people happy
The conclusion is also interesting and really sums up the book; that behind every man is a great woman. In this case, it’s Dave’s wife Carrie who provides the ultimate wisdom with a paradox. As Carrie notes, “The secret to getting everything you want is not trying to get everything you want. Meet the right people, listen well, connect and inspire them and they’ll want to give you everything that you want.”
