A few months ago, I was asked to give a talk about fun. The chief executive of a local council had read a column I had written about the culture of the NHS and wanted me to lecture senior managers on ’’how to have fun in the workplace’’. An image of ’’David Brent dad-dancing around the office ’’flashed into my mind, but I dismissed it and said yes.
Faced with a booked council chamber, questions about PowerPoint and the prospect of an hour that made a cervical smear feel like a treat, I dredged through memories of working life from the age of 15.
There was the job in the health food shop, where the manager told me I should eat carrots for my spots. There was the bookshop where the staff bought me black stockings and suspenders. There was the office where I spent the whole of my first day trying to type one letter and had to hide the bin.
And the fun? Where was the fun? In the shops, the publishing offices, the arts centre offices, the newspaper offices and the office procedures that sometimes seemed to have come straight from Kafka’s castle, where on earth was the fun? The fun, it struck me, was largely in the pub. The fun, in other words, was in the people.
The fun, I now know from a weekend report, was from something called ’’social intelligence’’.
According to the report, published by King’s College London in partnership with the National Citizen Service (NCS), social intelligence is ’’the set of abilities and skills we use to understand social situations’’. These are the skills you need to work out when it’s your turn to buy a pint. These are the skills you need to work out how to please your boss. And these, according to the report, are the skills you are going to need to have any chance of getting a job.
More than 200 employers were interviewed, and they nearly all said that social intelligence was now more important in new recruits than IQ or exam results. They said they were wasting an awful lot of time in interviewing people who seemed to have no social skills at all, and that if you didn’t have any by the time you started applying for jobs it was probably too late.
23. Who was the speaker asked to give a lecture to a few months ago?
24. What happened to the speaker when she was working in a health food shop?
25. Where was the fun from according to the weekend report?
