'..Over 70% of leaders fail or derail in their careers because they lack interpersonal skills..'<blockquote>'In business, more and more people have become disenchanted with corporate life as it is. Many feel trapped and unappreciated and they long to do something that has significance and value, something by which they can make a difference in the world.
In this era of transition, company leadership must cultivate workplace happiness and provide a sense of meaning and engagement for employees that nourishes the human spirit.
I encourage managers to connect with the emotional needs of employees and find ways to promote productivity while fostering creativity, meaning and fulfillment. Equally important is the self-awareness of company leadership. Over 70% of leaders fail or derail in their careers because they lack interpersonal skills. Being a good leader means pushing and expanding your own personal limits, and having the integrity and motivation to take the time to focus internally.'
