Part One: Fundamental Techniques in Handling People
Principle 1: Don’t criticize, condemn or complain. Most people don’t criticize themselves for anything, no matter how wrong it may be. Criticism is futile and dangerous. It puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. And it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. People learn faster and retain knowledge more effectively when rewarded for good behavior than punished for bad behavior. By criticizing, we do not make lasting changes and often incur resentment. “When dealing with Anyone can criticize, condemn and complain. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

Principle 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation. The only way to get a person to do anything is by giving them what they want. What do most people want? Health, food, sleep, money, sex. Almost all these wants are usually gratified – all except one: The desire to be important. This desire is what makes you want to wear the latest styles, drive the latest cars, and talk about your brilliant children. If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I’ll tell you what you are. That determines your character. How do you make people feel important? By appreciation and encouragement. ‘I have yet to find the Know the difference between appreciation and flattery. One is universally admired; the other universally condemned. Flattery is selfish and insincere. It’s cheap praise. You tell the other person precisely what he thinks about himself. In the long run, flattery will do you more harm than good. Appreciation is unselfish and sincere. It happens when we stop thinking about ourselves and begin to think of the other person’s good points. Be ‘hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise,’ and people will cherish your words and treasure them and repeat them over a lifetime – repeat them years after you have forgotten them.

Principle 3:
Arouse in the other person an eager want. Of course, you are interested in what you want. But no one else is. The rest of us are just like you: we are interested in what we want. The only way to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it. In the words of Henry Ford: “If there is any one secret This does not mean manipulating someone so that he will do something that is only for your benefit and his detriment. Each party should gain from the negotiation.
