I do not have experience of working for industry, but from my academic career, I notice these skills were apparent in a few professors which have made them successful as a professor in my opinion. I believe these skills do in fact need to be applied because humans are emotional and complex, we have different ideas and standings. When you can relate to someone and be genuine about it that’s one aspect of being successful.
With that begin stated for those who work in industry and or for a company now, do these interpersonal skills lack or are apparent in order to be successful?
