Couple specific thoughts from book overall…
Criticism
- · Today environment makes -A slippery slope
- · Do good but be authentic
- · Be YOU
Dealing with People
- · Communication is #1 skill
- · book about YOU not others
- · persuasion not manipulation
Influence
- · great leaders influence not manage
- · have a cause…
- · bring out best in others
Overall, I feel this book is one of the best ones I have read on how to Deal with People, Create Influence and Become a Better Leader. As Carnegie points out in the book, we are constantly dealing with people in business, and it is a key skill that must be developed to deal with day-to-day problems that we face. It is amazing to me that communication, influence, and people skills is not taught to everyone in school. If it was, i believe we would be much better equipped to deal with life and much better at communicating with those around us. Nevertheless, I believe that if you will read and apply the teaching in How to Win Friends and Influence People you will Create a Life of greater Happiness, Fulfillment and Prosperity.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks overview of the Classic Book by Dale Carnegie.
