During our weekly Winstone Academy session, the topic – 7 Personal Effectiveness Skills was discussed and we talked about how each skill is useful to building an individual which in turn also builds up the company. An example is if a company has 7 personal effective staffs, the company has the chance to scale up 7x when those personal effective skills are used and applied to the business, so it’s a win-win situation.
