59 - Can Nice People Get Ahead?

59 - Can Nice People Get AheadI talk about the book “Barking Up the Wrong Tree” by Eric Barker and I have to say, it really got me thinking. As a nice person, I often wonder if it’s possible to get ahead in life and work without being a jerk. And according to Barker, it is! Sure, appearance and making a good impression on bosses are important, but in the long run, it’s the givers who are more successful. By practicing generous tit-for-tat and forgiving after being betrayed, we build a reputation as trustworthy and kind people. So let’s focus on reciprocity and being the best versions of ourselves because that’s what really pays off in the end.Linkshttps://startwithsmallsteps.com/?p=2785https://www.bakadesuyo.com/https://www.amazon.com/Barking-Wrong-Tree-Surprising-Everything/dp/0062416049Jill’s Linkshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepsTwitter startwithsmallstepsEmail the podcast at [email protected]
