Feature: Likeability: A Predictor of Success
By: Chuck Fridsma

Likeability is a core value in getting hired as well as attracting new hires


It does not take a rocket scientist to tell us that being liked is an important factor for life success; both at work and at home. To a degree, we probably know that when a person is likeable their chances rapidly increase for attaining personal power, getting hired, retained, promoted, and becoming successful leaders; provided they are talented and have the necessary competencies. Studies clearly show that likeable people often have fulfilling marriages, gain friends quickly, provide effective parenting, and enjoy a cadre of rewarding social relationships.

Many organizations in this era of leaner workforces have realized that they have serious vulnerability in the area of leadership bench strength. Years of cost reductions and organizational de-layering have thinned out management’s ranks and limited the pool of qualified talent to be groomed for future leadership roles. At the same time, few organizations claim to have effective processes in place to develop needed talent from within.
