The Connection Between Strong Social Skills and Career Success
Whether you’re heading for a job interview, meeting a client, or chatting with a colleague, there’s one “make or break” (решающий, “пан или пропал”) factor at work: your interpersonal skills (навыки межличностного общения). Plenty of research has been done about the connection between strong social skills and career success—especially in a workplace that is only becoming more automated. Social skills are the key to teamwork and building long-term relationships.

The good news is that you can improve your interpersonal skill set, once you know what to focus on. Next time we’ll see how.
