25 ways to win with people

From John Maxwell and Les Parrot's book:

1. Start from ourselves.
Ask, how can I increase my value in order to benefit others and myself? (maybe things like cutting down bad habits, smile more, be kinder, practice more, start own biz, share with others, be humbler, etc).
Then, list the things you can improve about yourself, along with the specific steps.
Your relationship can only be healthy as you are.

2. practice the 30 second rule.
It means to give sincere and positive encouragement or something that is encouraging like thank you to everyone we meet in the first 30 seconds, to make them feel great and give them positive impact. 3A: undivided Attention, Affirm them and show your Appreciation for them in some ways.
Ask, what positive, encouraging things can I say to each person I will see today?
Remember, within the first 30 seconds of conversation, say something encouraging. make it a habit!

3. let people know you need them.
To make others to join a team magic sentence: I can;t do it without you. Leaders can become great only when they recognize they are the ones who need people. People need to be needed and need to know they need people.,that they are needed, and that they helped.
Ask, who specifically can help me do a better job than i can do alone. Sincerely ask others for help and attend carefully to what they have to say. Great leader make others feel that they are at the very heart of things, not at the periphery

4. Create a moment and visit it often.
Plan an experience that will commemorate an achievement or milestone that people will talk about years from now and dun forget to create a memento with it. Don't wait for the memories to happen to us. We need to make memories happen.

5. Compliment people in front of other people.
People want to feel worthwhile in life. Compliment and Affirm others. Affirmation is a statement of truth you make firm in a person;s heart when u utter it.
