Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment
by Dale Carnegie
A leader’s job often includes changing your people’s attitudes and behavior. Some suggestions to accomplish this:
- Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.
- Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
- Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly.
- Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
- Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
- Let the other person save face.
- Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be “hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.”
- 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.
