Influencing others
October 23rd, 2006 by Gerhard Rasocha
I could not have said it any better, therefore I leave you with this quote:
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. If you want to influence someone, listen to what he says. When he finishes talking, ask him about any points that you do not understand. Then tell him what it is you want and point out the areas where you are in agreement and those where you do not agree. He will be flattered that you have listened intently, that you take him seriously, and that you truly want to understand his position. — Dr. Joyce Brothers
