RELATIONSHIP GOLD
You can care about people without leading them, but you cannot lead people well without caring about them.
Five Focuses to Build Strong Relationships
- Value the other person.
- When you change your thinking from “What am I going to receive?” to “What am I going to give?” your entire life begins to turn around.
- Learn another perspective.
- Walk a mile in their shoes. Start by asking questions.
- Care more about people than rules.
- People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
- Shift your focus from me to we.
- Mother Theresa – “You can do what I cannot do, and I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things.”
- Make the other person’s success your goal.
- Help people get what they want, and they’ll help you get what you want.
People won’t go along with you until they get along with you.
