A 2000 study by Yale University and the Center for Socialization and Development-Berlin concluded that “people, unlike animals, gain success not by being aggressive but by being nice. The research found that the most successful leaders, from CEOs to PTA presidents, all treated their subordinates with respect and made genuine attempts to be liked. Their approach garnered support and led to greater success.”

The immediate gratification may not be there, but doing things right while respecting and caring will lead to more money and success. So be nice. Why would you want to work, or work for someone, in an environment where people donâ??t enjoy each otherâ??s company?
