4- Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment
-
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
-
Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly.
-
Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other persons.
-
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
-
Let the other person save face.
-
Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement.
-
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
-
Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
-
Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.
I have always felt that Leadership Skills are one of the most important skills you can develop in business and in life. I hope that these concepts and principles can help you to level up to a much higher degree in your life and business.
