In job advertisements, you can often see such a requirement for the applicant - sociability. What is this quality and why it is so necessary for successful work in a team, it is easy to understand - the ability to interact with others, establish business and friendly contacts.
In general, sociability, that is, the ability to find a common language with others, is a necessary quality in any work, as well as in personal life. For some lucky ones, this skill is innate or vaccinated from early childhood, others have to educate it in themselves. To do this is not as difficult as it might seem. Even a non-communicative, self-absorbed person may well become sociable, for this only his desire and awareness of the importance of communicating with others are necessary.
Can any sociable person be called sociable
Not every sociable person can be called sociable. Sociable can be a tiring bore, and a talker, distracting from work, and a brawler, looking for a reason for a long quarrel. Meeting with such people is undesirable in the team or in the family. Some people try to replace business qualities with excessive talkativeness - they are even pleasant in communication, they always have an interesting story, gossip, a story … And only after an hour spent talking with such a person you understand that this hour was completely lost.
Likewise, a reserved, laconic person does not necessarily turn out to be a gloomy silent man. He will briefly and clearly explain to his subordinates what is required of them, give a clear report to the boss, clearly and in the case he will answer the question asked, without being distracted by extraneous topics. It is difficult to call such a person sociable, but such an employee in the team is a gift for all colleagues … except for those who prefer a closer, trusting relationship.
