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.
Whether you know it or not, you are here to achieve greatness, not just to survive. You are not here to survive; you are here to thrive. So do not let anything stand between you and your purpose.
And do not work against yourself, meaning do not be your own worst enemy.
So if you want your purpose to come to fruition, you can follow the following strategies, according to Mike Babcock
To achieve your dreams, 'Dream with your eyes open.' According to Mike, 'Dreaming with your eyes open is about having a plan. It 's about doing.'' When it comes to our dreams, to your dreams, to make them happen, you must have a plan. It is not enough to dream. You must find a way to make it work. If not, it is just a wish. And a dream with no plan to make it happen is just a wish. If you want to make your dreams come true, the only way to get there is to have a plan.
Commitment. Commitment. Commitment. Your dreams become real to you when you commit yourself to making them happen. And you will feel it. According to Mike, 'An everyday commitment to your dreams makes them real.' If you can think them, you can do them. If you can feel them, you can do them. And if your mind can see them, you can make them happen. Do not doubt yourself. If you want your dreams, your purpose to come true, you must believe in yourself. Do not doubt yourself. Do not doubt your purpose. Because doubt is a dream killer. If you don't face it with action, it can stop you from going forward in your life. In the words of Mike, 'Doubt is the biggest energy-taker there is. It eats away at our emotional core. It drains us of mental energy and physical energy. It demoralizes, distracts, and de-motivates.''If you want to achieve success, you must take action. You must cultivate the courage to conquer doubt.Always prepare. Always prepare to meet what life has in store for you. Why is that? Because you never know when it is going to happen. You never know when your breakthrough will come. When you are ready, you have nothing to worry about. Do not forget that success comes to those who prepare, not to those who wait. If you do not want to wait forever, now is the time to get yourself together.
