Welcome back to this 5 Day series on How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. We are on Day 4 and we are covering a high level review of the Amazing Principles and Strategies taught in this book and I want to remind you to pick up a copy and dive into all the stories and case studies he gives in this All-Time Best seller.
There are four major parts of this book, and we are on Part 4 today on How to Be a Leader…How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment.
As a reminder the 4 sections are:
- Techniques for Handling People (3)
- Ways to make people like you (6)
- Winning People over to your way of Thinking (12)
- Becoming a Leader. (9)
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.
Thanks for listening today. See you tomorrow.
