106 Capitalizing on Kindness Although many businesses may not yet consciously recognize the effects of positive personalities on their businesses' bottom lines, they nonetheless instinctively gravitate toward positive, like- able business partners. The likeable person tends to be sought after in the professional world--to be on the best teams, in the high-powered offices, and as a preferred client. Want to get em- ployees and coworkers to support you as you set the vision for your company? Hope that your boss will look favorably upon you during the next round of promotions? Aspire to political office? Or just wish your doctor would spend more time with you during your next office visit? Think popularity.
