Who are the most successful individuals in your company or field? Take note of what they do, how they behave, why people like them, and what people say about them. An awareness of the strengths of the competition informs you of potential areas of improvement for yourself. Maybe the new guy in your department is already on friendly terms with the managers, and you wonder how he does it. Most likely he is friendly, makes conversation, and puts forth the effort to get to know the people around him. There’s no big trick to being well liked—just be positive, friendly, inquisitive, and excited about what you do. Don’t waste your energy feeling bad about areas in which your peers excel. Take a hint from their successes, and use it to make your own progress.
