Likeability… You Go First

Written by Judy W Bell on April 14, 2011. Posted in People Skills

I have read several blogs lately on a variety of topics such as:

Trust
Credibility
Likeability
Collaboration

All had the same familiar theme… in order to “up” the ante for you, you must up the ante for others. One of the blogs was a book review of “Enchantment,” by Guy Kawasaki. Kawasaki says there are two types of people in the world:

1. Bakers

2. Eaters

He says, “Eaters think zero-sum. They want the biggest slice of any pie. The bakers don’t see the world as zero-sum game. They want to make more and bigger pies. And bakers are more enchanting that eaters.”

Can’t wait to read the book!
