Prof. V.Viswanadham All of us want ….. ? Success Happiness Can interpersonal Relations help us in securing more success and happiness ? Interpersonal Relations ~ Relations arising from and issues relating to people interacting with other people; Skills required for improving interpersonal relations. Can you have Success and Happiness without developing Interpersonal Relations and all other related skills ? Some background … As we grow up, we improve our skills at communicating our wants and needs, our feelings and thoughts, with our family members, to begin with, and the rest of the world, over a period of time. We also learn to interpret other people's wants and needs, feelings and thoughts, so that we are aware of how our behaviour impacts on others. We find that people with good interpersonal skills get along well, with people, and circumstances. They connect with other people effortlessly, they seem to know the right things to say and they generally succeed in whatever they do. We find that these people are more comfortable with themselves, [ implying self-management ] and hence, we find that we are more comfortable in being with them. Interestingly, we find that interpersonal skills are one of those things that you'll only really notice when someone doesn't have them! And, understandably, if we are not good at these skills, it is the others who first notice it. The good news is that It is possible for everyone of us to develop really effective interpersonal skills. The question is, are we aware of the need, and if so, are we interested and committed to improving our skills, continuously ? A commitment to spend a little time working on improving your interpersonal skills will pay huge dividends, throughout your future life. Once again, the question is, are you ready, and if so, when are you going to begin ? Johari -- Window.
