A COMMITMENT TO MASTERY
In summary, if you wish to avoid failure in any area that’s important to you, it’s imperative that you make a real commitment to mastering the art of interpersonal relationships. You simply can’t make it to the top by yourself. You must engage the assistance of a multitude of others along the way—and the quality of the people you can get to help you will largely depend on your ability to develop strong interpersonal relationships.
The exciting thing is that relationship building is an area that very few people ever seek excellence in. So if you devote serious time to gaining expertise in this arena, you will soon find that you have an array of success tools that your competition in life just can’t match. These skills will be applicable in any domain of life—business, personal, or family—and usually work equally well in all of them.
