21 Ways to Make Yourself More Likeable

Now that you know how to tank your career and make your office life miserable, it's time for some damage control. Start by making yourself more likeable, which you can do by following the 21 steps outlined at Marc and Angel Hack Life. My favorite steps are the first two:

• Be Attentive to Others and Never Stop Listening â€" Self-centered people are usually unlikable. When you're involved in a conversation, it's important to focus more on the other person and less on yourself. If you genuinely concern yourself with others and listen to them closely, you'll make scores of friends with little effort. Remember, everybody loves a good listener.
• Compliment People Who Deserve It â€" Go out of your way to personally acknowledge and compliment the people who have gone out of their way to shine. Everybody likes to hear that their efforts are appreciated.
