For many of us, the #1 skill we need to work on is EQ (emotional intelligence). Take a typical interaction from me to my boss:
Boss: We need to port this Python tutorial to Ruby Me: That's a stupid idea, because blah, blah, blah, no time, blah, blah, blah
Oops, the boss now thinks I'm a jerk.
Instead, try:
Boss: We need to port this Python tutorial to Ruby Me: Sure, which of these other four projects should I put on hold?
See? Now my boss realizes I'm a team player and not a selfish/lazy jerk.
