Want to bring out the best in people?
Edward W. Smith, motivational speaker, author and TV show host, who specializes in quick tips on how to move your life ahead even faster, offers the following advice.
First, assume that they are already the best, which will cause them to rise to the occasion and makes them feel good in the process. Remember, most people have a huge reservoir of talents and intelligence that they have not tapped into yet, and you can help both of you by allowing them to discover it. As you deal with people always assume they are capable and interested in becoming the best and give them the tools needed to become the best. Holding back on the tools they need to succeed dooms you both to failure. Next build a system to give people non-judgmental objective feedback as to how they are doing. Make sure they understand where improvement is needed and what the desired outcome looks like. Then offer constant support and encouragement with a positive attitude and encourage a positive attitude in them. Finally, exercise patience and focus on the process of improvement, rather than the final outcome.
