Good Manners build Good Relationships, and Good Relationships build Good Business

Eighty five percent of success in business is based on people skills, demeanor and behavior towards others and are as important as education, training, technical abilities and professional competence.

“People who lack social competence are perceived to lack other competencies, too” according to assistant professor at Harvard Business School.

Employers value the right attitude, good communication and team players as much as they value technical skills.

The desire to know how to put one’s best foot forward socially and in business is universal.

Manners are more than knowing which fork to choose, but instead how we treat one another.

Every single action of your daily life has consequences for others, in which you should care about.

Your social skills determine your destiny.
