I mean, If I could do exactly 'What' all over again?\" \"In other words, what can you tell me about achieving success in the workplace? What really matters?\" she asked. I offered a few suggestions, but never came to a succinct response. After hours of retrospect since this encounter, a single theme comes to mind: Hone your people agility skills. Contrary to myriad management textbooks, the proficiency for effective working relationships is self-learned and developed over the years--at school recess. Here lies the inception of the \"Playground Principle,\" a 6,000 word Top-10 of sorts, that will help resurrect these distant childhood and teenage relationship building experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
