Dense Understandings of Carengie’s Principles

“Fundamental Techniques In Handling People”

1. “Don’t criticise, condemn, or complain” — Avoid negative communications that damage relationships, and focus on constructive feedback and building stronger connections.
2. “Give honest and sincere appreciation.” — Avoid fake flattery and give people genuine praise. Show them you understand them and cafe.
3. “Arouse in the other person an eager want.” — Think about what might make the other person want to do what you want to do, under their point of view, see their angle, and work together on achieving positive ends.

“Six Ways To Make People Like You”

1. “Become genuinely interested in other people.” — Make an effort to take a genuine interest in other people and take the time to understand them and appreciate them. They will be more willing to hear your point of view.
2. “Smile.” — Smile, sound out joy in your manner of speaking, show joy in what you type, cleanse your thoughts. People will trust you more and cooperate with you more when you smile.
3. “Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” — If you address people by their prefered names and call them as they would like to be called, you can demonstrate a personal touch and a level of care that will others will appreciate.
4. “Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.” — We all feel a natural desire to insert our own ideas into a conversation. Make a conscious effort to shut up and listen, and learn more about others. Your influence will grow more by hearing people out than by telling them your ideas.
5. “Talk in terms of the other person’s interests.” — Learn the interests of others and speak in their language, and frame what you are saying around their understanding. They’ll come around to your point of view more easily.
