Ability to Relate with People<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Do you have a strong people skill? Business persons are surrounded by different kinds of people. They are the customers, clients, suppliers, vendors, and employees. We can also include critics and competitors. In a macro business level, one is also dealing with investors, the board of directors, and shareholders.
