Be Encourages of People
To be an encourager, you need to believe the best in people, to have faith in them. With a little faith in themselves, people can do miraculous things.
In our society today, most people feel isolated. And many people don’t have the family support that was more common in thirty or forty years ago “Evang.Bill Glass note over 90 percent of prison inmates were told by parent while growing up. They’re going to put you in jail’ Instead of teaching their children to believe in themselves, some parents are tearing them down. For many people, even those who closest to them don’t believe in them. They have no one on their side. Always remember that your goal is not to get people to think more highly of you, it’s to get them to think more highly of themselves. Have faith in them, and they will begin to do exactly that. The motto of French World War I hero Marshal Feldinal Foch:’’ There are no hopeless situations; there are only men and women who have grown hopeless about them.’ Every person has seeds of greatness within even though they may currently be dormant. But when you believe in them, you water the seeds and give them the chance to grow. The best way to show people your faith in them and motivate them is to focus your attention on their strengths.
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE:
In building positive relationship, you also need to learn how to connect with others.
To connect with others you must first touch the heart of the person you want to connect with. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care one of the best things you can do for people is to expect the best of them. The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. If you appreciate others, encourage them, and help them reach their potential, they will connect with you. There’s an old saying: to lead yourself, use your heard; to lead others, use your heart. Always touch a person’s heart before you ask him for hand.
Be a better listener.
Another ingredient in building positive relationship is the ability to listen to others.
No man would listen to you talk if he didn’t know it was his turn next.
Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-eight America president, once said,” the era of the leader must ring with the voices of people.”
The Value of Listening
Here are some listen values which you can apply in any where, anytime.
First, Listening show Respect. A mistake that people often make in communication is trying very hard to impress the other person. They try to make themselves appear smart or enter taming. But if want to relate well to others, you have to be willing to focus on what they have to offer.
Second, listening Increases Knowledge. Wilson Mizner said.” A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something. Beware of potting yourself into a position where you think you know all the answers. All great leaders are great listeners, only if you develop good listening skills early, and then continue to use them, will you be a able to gather the information you need to succeed. As you proceed through life and become more successful, don’t lose sight of your need to growing and improving yourself. And remember, a deaf ear is evidence of a closed mind.
Third, Listening Generate Ideas. When you consistently listen to others, you never suffer for ideas. People love to contribute, especially when their leader shares the credit with them. If you give people opportunities to share their thoughts, and you listen with and open mind, there will always be a flow of new ideas. You will never know how close you’re to a million-dollar idea unless you’re willing to listen to people.
