“The #1 criteria for advancement and promotion for professionals is

an ability to communicate effectively.” —Ralph G. Nichols

Jay Hall of the consulting firm Teleometrics has studied the performance of 16,000 executives and found a

direct correlation between achievement and the ability to care for and connect with people. Here are a few

of the findings:

So my challenge to you is to ask yourself, “How effective are my relationships with family, friends, employ-

ees and co-workers?” If you like your answer than keep doing what you are doing BUT if not, maybe try to

find ways to connect with the people around you. As my old boss once told me, years ago, “The problem

with communication is, you think, it actually occurred!”
