爱华网Interpersonal Skills
Sometimes it is interpersonal skills rather than professionalskills that really count in your career. Interpersonal skills arenothing but the ability to be good listener, to be sensitive towardother’ needs, to take criticism well. People with skill in socialrelations admit their mistakes, and take their share of blame,which is a mature and responsible way to handle an error. That’swhy many mediocre employees survive violent corporate upheavalswhile people of great talent are being laid off. Sensitive in theirdealings with others, they are well liked everywhere. People withpoor interpersonal skills have trouble taking criticism. Whenconfronted with a mistake, they let their ego get in the way. Theydeny responsibility and became moody or angry. They mark themselvesas “prickly”.

人际关系
有时候，在工作中重要的倒是能否处理好人际关系而不是有多大的才能。人际关系就是一种善于听取别人的意见，体察别人的需要，虚心接受批评的能力。善于处理人际关系的人敢于承认错误，敢于承担自己的责任，这是对待错误的一种成熟和负责任的态度。这就是为什么许多平平庸庸的公司雇员在大调整保住了位置，而有才能的人反而下岗。因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系，所以八面玲珑，到处有缘。而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。碰到错误，他们首先想到自己，拒不承认自己有错，或情绪低落或大发雷霆，成为有刺的人，难以相处。
