1. Put yourself in his place and think. Remember that his likes and dislikes, intellectual considerations, income and surroundings are probably completely different from yours.

2. Now ask yourself, if I were in his place, how would I react? (Whatever you expect from him)

3. Then do what you would do if you were someone else. Leadership rule number 2-Think: What is the humane, kindest way to do the job?

People take different paths in leadership situations. One way is to be sovereign. This sovereign takes all decisions alone without consulting others. He does not want to know the opinion of the subordinates, who, perhaps in his heart, fears that the subordinates are speaking unfairly and will thereby lose his respect.

These monopolies do not last long. For a while the workers showed hypocritical loyalty, but soon protests broke out. The service workers left the job, those who remained started a conspiracy against the tyrant. So the organization cannot function properly. As a result, the ruler proved a failure to his superiors. Today, I have been a close acquaintance for almost 15 years, I named him Bob Daru. The groom is in his mid-fifties. I Grew up hard.

Did not get the opportunity of special education, had to face financial difficulties. He lost his job in 1931. But the groom is always invincible. Not being lazy, Bob opened a furniture store in his garage. His tireless efforts have grown the business today into a state-of-the-art furniture manufacturing company with over 300 employees. Bob is a millionaire today. Now he does not worry about wealth and material things. Now Bob is rich, wealthy in every way. He is rich in friendship, self-satisfaction and contentment. One of Bob's many qualities is his willingness to help others. Grooms have a sense of humanity, Bob has become an expert at treating people with the humaneness they expect.

One day Bob was talking about criticizing others. Bob's humanistic formula is novel. In his words, “I think there is no one who is willing to call himself weak and incapable. I do business. If I see a mistake, correct it. But how to do it is very important. I am alerted when the employee makes a mistake, I don't want to hurt them, I want to understand them that way. They don't feel inferior, they don't feel humiliated. I follow four simple steps.

First: I talk to them separately.

Appreciate the second job well done. Third, I explain the work that can be done better at that moment. And help you figure out how to fix it. Fourth: Praise again for good deeds. “These four approaches have been very fruitful. This makes others happy because they want to understand it.

When they leave the office, they realize that they are not only good, but can be better." "I've been gambling with people all my life." Bob says, “I saw a worker come to work drunk. In no time, the plant began to clamor. This employee forgot a 5 gallon can of varnish and spilled it everywhere. The superintendent let him out after the rest of the staff took the can from him." "I went outside and saw him leaning on the building like a fool. I picked her up in my car, then took her home. His wife is furious.

I told him there is no reason to worry. 'Oh, you don't know,' said his wife, 'Mee Dabu (meaning me) does not tolerate drunkenness at work. The gym job is gone, what do I do now?' I explained to him that Jim's job was gone. He demanded, how did I know? The answer is forced to say, "I am Mr. dabu "He almost fainted and what! I assured him that I would help Jim as much as possible and that he would be fully cooperative at home in the morning. Jim is told to go to work.”

"I went back to the plant, went to Jim's department, talked to his colleaguesI explained to them 'an awkward thing happened today. But I hope you forget it, the gym will come in handy tomorrow. Treat him well. He is a long time employee, I think he should be given another chance. "Jim returned to work, then never had a problem with his drinking. A few people were sent from the first office of the union, they completely forgot about the local union incident. But Jim did not forget. Two years ago I came to bid on the local contract. Some of their demands were completely unjustified and unfair.
