    About this audiobook

    Karl Albrecht defines social intelligence (SI) as the ability to get along well with others while winning their cooperation. SI is a combination of sensitivity to the needs and interests of others, sometimes called your "social radar," an attitude of generosity and consideration, and a set of practical skills for interacting successfully with people in any setting. Social Intelligence provides a highly accessible and comprehensive model for describing, assessing, and developing social intelligence at a personal level. This book is filled with intriguing concepts, enlightening examples, stories, cases, situational strategies, and a self-assessment tool-all designed to help you learn to navigate social situations more successfully.

      The Power of 'Onlyness'

      May 1, 2018

      How do you define ‘onlyness’? The word actually doesn’t appear in the English dictionary, but I would argue that it should. Simply put, it means that anyone’s — and quite possibly everyone’s — ideas matter. The genesis of the word starts with the fac

      While there are some irritations with Albrecht’s book – he quotes himself rather too often and his self-designed psychometric is too simplistic - it is nevertheless a valuable read largely because of its pragmatic approach. Albrecht lists five categories of SI that individuals need to constantly monitor and improve in – situational awareness, presence, authenticity, clarity and empathy. This is a book for practioners rather than academics, and so for each of these categories he provides insightful stories and helpful tips as to how a person might develop their capacity to influence others effectively.
