The Small Business tips today discuss how to assess people skills.
- Casual conversation helps bring people skills to light. Take note of various actions, reactions, body language, and topics in a natural setting.
- Someone’s answer to a “what if” question can tell you a lot about them. Ask about real life situations. Remember their reactions and what they’d do in that situation.
- Watch someone’s interaction with others, and gather a group of observers to watch as well. Ask other observers about the interaction to get other, unbiased opinions of how it went.
- Conduct a self assessment. Ask questions on what people think about themselves: strengths, weaknesses, organization, coaching, listening & communication.
