The author outlines 8 useful and neccessary skills to become People Smart:
1)Understanding People. Author provides a succinct explaination and usefulness of MBTI indicators such as ENTP.
2)Expressing yourself clearly. I didn't find this chapter too useful. As long as you speak clearly and choose your words carefully, you are at least a decent speaker.
3)Asserting your needs. Useful only to for those who can't assert themselves).
4)Exchanging feedback
5)Influencing Others. This is the best chapter by far. Influencing others involve making a connection and figuring out what their needs are (security, acceptance, ego, self actualization) and then making a persuasion in align with their needs.
6)Resolving Conflict. This is only if you argue with people all the time.
7)Being a team player.
8)Shifting Gears.

Practical, engaging and personal, PeopleSmart is a book that delivers on it's promises. For every situation, there is a PeopleSmart answer. Individuals, teams and organizations will value the lessons in each chapter of this book. If you have been baffled by others' behavior, you will find strategies for survival in the 'Understanding People' chapter, my personal favorite. The authors of this book articulate complex themes in easy to understand methods. It is a motivating read! This book combines the best in performance improvement training, with cutting edge psychological awareness. And, it does so with such fluidity, you will want to keep reading, and trying new methods! It's amazing how much I have referred to this book in my consulting practice...and how well the solutions have worked!

This book is practical and down-to-earth. The ideas given are novel and can be put into practice easily. The book stresses more on inter-personal communication, rightly so as this happens to the foundation for Interpersonal relations. Chapters like 'influencing others' and 'being a team player' would certainly help the 'organisational man'. I would suggest that this is an essential reading for enhancing relationships - personal as well as professional. |

PeopleSmart is a plain English, how-to book on improving your interpersonal skills. It helped me discover exactly where my people skills are lacking and then taught me how to improve these areas. I was able to use what I learned in both my work and personal relationships. As a matter of fact, after reading just a few chapters and having my eyes opened, I successfully resolved a conflict with a colleague that had actually been keeping me awake at night. I'm an academic that's skeptical of quick fix advice not supported by research, but bored by esoteric ramblings. PeopleSmart struck the right balance. Enjoy the experience.

I am a teacher on Communication Skills, and Peoplesmart is the best resource out there. It is well-organized and easy to use. It is not a passive book, but gets the reader actively involved in learning and practicing effective people skills. It's a fabulous resource for the workplace, but also has applications for home and personal relationships. I have never met anyone who couldn't use tips for resolving conflicts, expressing oneself, and influencing others. This book is great on its own, or can be combined with the workshops offered to really bring home these tremendous people skills, communications, and interaction effectivenenss. Everyone should have this resource, not on their shelf, but in their hands!
