‘Discipline yourself to connect someone to something every day.’
‘If you’ve been impressed by a product, find the inventor and call him or her.’
‘Look for evidence that contradicts what you’ve come to believe.’
‘Learn to separate the small things you do spread goodwill- the gifts, the remembered birthdays, the special favors- from your actual request.’
‘So practice your stories, in particular, the stories in which you make fun of yourself.’
‘Work out a formula that captures your natural instincts for how to handle uncertainty.’
‘Find examples of how team members supported one another and then share these examples with the team.’
‘Volunteer for situations where your success depends on turning around an angry or obstinate person.’
‘Establish a routine where you are, with predictable frequency, gauging people’s reactions.’
‘Always stay in touch with those whom you have helped to learn and grow.’
