BE A LEADER: HOW TO CHANGE OTHERS WITHOUT OFFENDING OR RESENTING THEM

A leader's job is, among other things, to change the attitude and behavior of his people. Some suggestions to achieve it:

Rules

  1. Begin with sincere praise and appreciation.
  2. Draw attention to the mistakes of others indirectly.
  3. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing those of others.
  4. Ask questions instead of giving orders.
  5. Allow the other person to save his own prestige.
  6. Praise the smallest progress and, moreover, every progress. Be "warm in your approval and generous in your praise."
  7. Give the other person a good reputation so that they take an interest in maintaining it.
  8. Encourage the other person. Make mistakes look easy to correct.
  9. Make sure the other person is happy to do what you suggest.

Here we have finished the parts of the book and its rules.

This is like a summary, but I still recommend reading the entire book for more context on the rules.
