That why you must be a likable person – so others value you, (your work, your results, your family, your possessions, your opinion) highly.
Do other have a positive emotional reaction to you?

Great point, Larry,
When I was working with consultants in the 70s and 80s and business coaches in the 90s, being likable is the ‘grease’ that helps launch a lot of positive initiatives for businesses.
Being likable does cover a ‘multitude of sins’ and also tends to cover up character and competency flaws as well. We can see this demonstrated in a lot of places today–none more prominent than our country’s own leadership.
Depending upon which side of the desk we sit, we all should be striving for discernment for those we choose to work with. After all, business should be fun–most of the time anyway–right?
Great post.
