If you want your kids to behave better, your employees to do a better job, lead people around you or win new clients in your company, the key is influence. You must become a person of influence. You need to understand the needs of others. The first step to influence others is to have self-awareness. One of the clues to empowering the people around you are appreciation, approval and attention. Have gratitude to others on every occasion. Praise them for every accomplishment. Pay close attention to them when they talk and interact with you.
My response
Reading your post reminded me of a lady at church. She is a leader that feels it is important to appreciate and give gratitude to everyone that helps her in a program or activity. Before reading this book, I often wondered, why she wasted time with all these acknowledgments, but now I understand why she does it and why people are always willing to help her.
