    Are you really good at building, maintaining and repairing relationships? Most would say no. Throwing away a lasting competitive advantage in life and business. These six skills are incredibly handy, imminently practical, clearly essential skills necessary for success in business.

    Unfortunately, these skills aren’t taught in most business schools since they are “soft skills.” And other majors don’t cover them at all. And so most of us toil away never perfecting the skills giving you business relationships that work.
