DO NICE GUYS REALLY FINISH LAST?

Myth or reality… Do nice guys really “finish last”? Can nice guys succeed in business? What does “nice” really mean? Must one surrender one’s “niceness” in exchange for the coveted corner office and a rich compensation package?

The ability to remain nice and achieve success in business is a complex, on-going challenge for a huge segment of the working world. At Nice Guy Strategies, we've learned that there are many lessons that nice guys can learn from SOBs, and vice-versa. The key to achieving long-term success is to balance one’s SOB and Nice Guy tendencies.

Please visit the NGS web site to learn more. Be sure to check out The NGS Bill Of Rights – ten key principles that can help you change behavior, overcome challenges, and transcend perceived limitations. If you are Too Nice, embracing these principles will serve you well. In contrast, if you tend towards being an SOB, lessen the intensity with which you exhibit these behaviors.

Nice Guy Strategies, a labor of love created by Russ Edelman and Tim Hiltabiddle, will continue to evolve throughout the course of the year. Check back periodically to see what's new at NGS, including our upcoming book, "The Nice Guy Guide to Business Success."
