How
to bring the best out of others
We
are all in the people business; the relationship building business.
The
principles of dealing with people don’t change and have been known for hundreds
of years. No matter what field of endeavor we play, the rules of the game are
the same, when it comes with human interactions. It is proven that 85% of
success comes from mastering the skill of dealing with people. The other 15%
comes from technical skills, which are constantly changing and updating. Master
the ability to build relationship with people and you will have plenty of time
to keep updating your ever changing technical skills. Here is a solid list to get you going.
1.
Expect greatness. Build expectancy in others and they will live up to your expectations.
Respect everyone, trust is earned.
2.
Uplift and encourage others. Be an uplifter and not a downer. Refrain from
complaining, criticizing and condemning others. Never forget we are all at
different stages in life, independent of our ages.
3.
Find and bring out strengths. Every human being has genius inside. Help others find
their purpose and rekindle their dreams. Help them envision a better future.
4.
Give grace, no one is perfect. We tend to judge others by their results; we judge
ourselves by our intentions. Flip this the other way around. Don’t judge others
for we don’t know their stories of overcoming.
5.
Enjoy seeing others prospering. Great joy is found in seeing others learning, growing,
and improving their lives. Give plenty of praise, appreciation, and
recognition.
6.
Let their heart speak and listen. In the heart we find the truth. Be patient and you
will be rewarded with the ability to help others.
7.
Learn to deal with difficult people. Don’t be a difficult person yourself. Learn how to
deal with the troublemakers and the couch potatoes. Help them to use their positive energy into
something productive. Learn how to help the couch potatoes overcome the two knobs, the TV and the door knobs.
When dealing with people we find the greatest frustrations and the greatest joys.
Pass
these nuggets on to others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
