People are people. They are not things. And They deserve to be treated as human beings.
Do not deal with them as though you are dealing with things. In his book Primary Greatness: The 12 Levers of Success, Stephen Covey writes, 'We can't deal with people as though we're dealing with things. We can be efficient with things, but we need to be effective with people. ... If you go fast with people, you'll make very slow progress. You won't hear what they are really telling you. You won't understand what a win his for them. If you go slowly and get deeply into win-win thinking, you'll find that, in the long run, it's faster to get commitment to the right resolution for both of you.''
So to get the best out of people, treat them differently. Why? Because we are different. We think differently. We work differently. We see things differently. And we see and process things differently.Be patient with people. If you really want to know them, do not push them too fast.
If you do, they are going to push back. And things can get really messy. And you do not want that to happen.
Respect them. Great leaders respect others. They don't demand respect; they work to get it. So if you want others to respect you, you must first send it out. And it takes humility to respect others, to put others first.
And if you can do it, the world is yours.
If you want to live a purposeful life, you must embrace change.
We don't like change, but we can't live without it.
Why is that? Because change is life. It is growth.
If we are not changing, we are dying.
If you want to change your life, be real with yourself. According to
Mel Robbins, 'To change your life, you need to learn how to
honor your feelings more than anyone else's.'' She is right.
Do not change because other people are changing.
Change because it is the right thing to do for yourself.
If you want to change your life, do not focus on what you do not have.
Do not focus on what you cannot do. Instead, use what you have to
change the direction of your life. Mel Robbins is right when she said,
'When you focus on what is wrong, you will never change.'' So if you
want to change your life, focus on what is right, not on what is wrong.
You can do it. And now is the time to start. If not now, when?
