WARMTH & COMPETENCE
<span class="html-content"> <p>I have come to realize that people judge you based on two things: Warmth and Competence. </p> <p>Naturally when we first meet someone , we generally ask two questions: </p> <p>👉 " Do i like this person ?" This relates to the warmth dimension, which also connects to trust. This is followed by : </p> <p>👉 " Can I rely on this person?" This relates to the competence dimension, which also connects to respect.</p> <p>Now, ofcourse, there are a whole range of other factors that influences a first impression ( which happens in 1/10th of a second by the way!) and many of these are based on biases or prejudices ( which could be related to appearance, gender,tribe,religion or race).</p> <p>Beyond that,we all have an opportunity to positively influence someone's perception of us by demonstrating genuine warmth first , and backing it up with competence .</p> <p>A Heads up - Warmth in a business context doesn't mean being 'overly nice' or letting people take advantage of you...</p> <p>Instead, it's about diplomacy, being respectful, empathetic and approachable - these are all leadership qualities too. </p> <p>Do you think you rate higher on Warmth or Competence?👇</p> </span>
