The Rules of People: Part 7

 

60.Make individual relationships. It’s a great feeling when you find a link with someone.

61.Turn the best side to the front. Most of us have to make a conscious effort. At least until we get used to it.

62.People generally agree with themselves. There are two parts to every project: The destination, and the route you take to get there.

63.Credit people with your own ideas. Once you give someone credit for an idea, it’s very hard for them to say, ‘That wasn’t my idea.’

64.Don’t tell them they’re wrong (even if they are). Sidle up to them and gently steer them in a better direction.

65.Get them to collaborate. Set collective goals rather than individual ones.

66.Be human. It doesn’t make sense to come across as needing no one and nothing.

67.Share! You need to involve people in order to motivate them.

68.Say thank you properly. They know what they did, but they don’t know what you valued unless you tell them.

69.Get under their skin. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to make a particular person feel good.

70.Criticise constructively. If they can’t do anything about it, don’t pass comment.
