Over the few months I have spent at Darden, the one thing that I have observed is that you need to communicate to be successful. You build rapport, friends, relationships and all that matter using effective communication. I have seen naturals as well as people who cringe at that thought. But I believe that everyone can communicate well and its just that they have developed a mental block. It helps if you are well read as you can pick up a conversation about any topic and lead the conversation into something meaningful. And Everette Fortner's(Executive Director for Corporate Relations and Career Development, Darden School of Business) blog is an excellent reminder of the efficacy of communication. I would encourage a read.
Happy reading
