About this episode
Welcome to Episode 156 of The Numbers Game. In this episode, we discuss leadership principles based on Dale Carnegies’s hugely successful book, first published in 1936 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.
On this episode, we discuss Dale's principles:
- Begin with Praise and Honest Appreciation
- Call Attention to People's Mistakes Indirectly
- Talk About Your Own Mistakes Before Criticising the Other Person
- Ask Questions Instead of Giving Direct Orders
- Let the Other Person Save Face
- Praise the Slightest Improvement and Praise Every Improvement
- Give the Other Person a Fine Reputation to Live Up To
- Make the Other Person Happy About Doing the Thing You Suggest
