Being a leader doesn't mean that you are perfect, of course you are not. To make that healthy and humble connection with the people, make them see how ordinary you are and how you make mistakes too. Lastly, tell them how you correct them, they ought to follow that.

If there is a basic about handling people that you must hold one to, its this; Never criticize anyone, its useless and damaging, Instead, try to understand, why they are the way they are.

As damaging as it is, criticism can literally shred a person's self confidence into pieces. Appreciation and encouragement on the other hand can make them do wonders. Be extravagant and gently honest in your praise. You might actually save a life from drowning into negativity.

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get to the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.

Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

Humans are wonderful creatures, develop your interest in them and don't forget to make them notice that. Be genuinely concerned about others and feel their worth in the moment and in life, if you can pull this off, you are hands down their favorite!

Hey, don't forget to Smile :)

Be cheerful and happy when you meet others. A nasty first expression on the face can ruin your impression for a very long time and its ridiculously hard to fix. No matter what situation you are in, if you are going to present yourself as positively energetic, you never know, you might just light up the room.

I don't know about you but when i meet someone i already know and they don't recall my name, my heart skips a beat. That's my identity, and if that's not important enough to remember, i don't know what is. Address people properly and don't forget to say their name every time you get a chance. Its important.

Listen, enjoy and ask for more. If there is anything that is going to make people want to be next to you, its the ability to be a good listener. Ask them things you know they want to talk about, pay attention and go deep.

Always put yourself into another persons shoes before dealing with them in anyway. Would you like a particular thing for yourself? If Yes, then go for it. If No, then you seriously doubt their worth and you need to work on that right away.

Avoid arguments at any cost. They are disturbing and they promote negativity. If you still land in one, control your temper and make sure that you don't hurt the other person. All that, is pretty hard to achieve since arguments by nature contain opposition and not always a healthy one. Avoid them.

You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.

Even when you are 100% sure that a person is completely wrong, never say the following words on their face, "You're Wrong". Instead, deal with it in a disguise of doubt or curiosity. Tell them you are double checking for your own sake and then logically uncover their mistake.

When you are wrong, stop going around in circles trying to manipulate your way out of that, Admit it. Its probably not easy but its the quickest most error free way to get out of it. Not just that, realize your mistake and commit in your heart to never do it again. It will elevate your status in other's eyes.

Coming across people with differing views and ways of doing a task can be tricky to manage. Always focus on the common ground, elaborate the fact that you are striving for the same thing and put them in a situation where all they can say is 'yes'. Be wisely persuasive and honest.

When in a disagreement or facing a complaint, let the other person speak. Understand their situation and give them room to handle. Just listening to their problem with concern can make them calm down instantly. Listen more, and argue less.

When trying to convince someone to do something, keep shedding light on the nobler motives. Now what that means is that, you make the person look at the result of what you are asking and how that is for the greater good and how it just makes more sense in a morally correct world.

When someone presents an idea to you, always pick the best out of it. Encourage them to implement it and then give them credit. Make them realize, they can do it, and they have done it. Never focus on the weak side from the very beginning, instead help them see it and improve it.

To make people see the brightness of your idea, dramatize it and make them the hero. Elaborate how this idea can bring wonderful changes to their life and be of complete use to them.

When encouraging a person and being appreciative doesn't get you results, allure them to be competitive but in an extremely subtle way. As Charles Swab says, "The way to get things done, is to stimulate competition. I do not mean in a sordid, money-getting way, but in the desire to excel."

Looking to lead people?, First things first, like them, praise them and appreciate them with sincerity. This is single-handedly, the way to a humans liking, its in our nature. We like praise, we love it and we want it.

Being a leader means, pointing out people's mistake and making them correct it and then they hate you for doing that. To avoid the hate part, go for improving remarks rather than pointing the mistake out, actually keep it a secret and lose the focus on the fault. That will get you results and the liking.

Being a leader does not mean that people must do what you say, actually they must co-operate with you. Don't go around throwing orders here and there, suggest and ask and then things will fall into place naturally.

Never embarrass the people you lead. In any and every situation, find a solution in the moment that will make them walk away with pride and confidence. Mold their mistakes to make them see the light at the end of the tunnel. With encouraging remarks, prove it to them how easy it is to get back on track.

Power without authority is tyranny.

Scott Brown may be the last Republican to win a statewide fight in Massachusetts for a very long time. He caught the machine flat-footed in January 2010 when he out-hustled Martha Coakley and stole the Senate seat Ted Kennedy held all those years. And since then, the Democrats haven't lost a single statewide fight.

You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

I am ambidextrous. I write with my right hand but played basketball in high school with my left.

A good writer knows that if her style and perceptions are really cooking, she can bring anything off. It's okay, of course, for novelists to depict bland, average families living bland, average lives in bland, average towns. But it isn't okay when those novelists don't outshine their bland, average subjects.

Music is very helpful, not just for the actors, but the whole crew and myself. It gives you the tone of the scene. Everyone is focused on the tone of the scene when we are shooting, and we are having an emotional reaction to the music immediately.

A lot of performing instincts are involved in the business of direction, but so is analysis and having a sense of literature.

Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis.

The secret of success is sincerity.

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared and with it none despised.

A home is a home, and excess supply leads to prices falling.

Acting is my first focus, but at the core, I'm a storyteller, and however that comes out is fine with me.

Sometimes you don't know what you've got until you put it in front of an audience - and the enthusiasm for the show from the audience has been just incredible.

Never let anyone silence your voice.

Oh, who am I trying to kid? It's a madhouse. The minute those cameras go off, things just explode, everyone is just at each other in one way or another, in closets or cat fights here and there. It's nuts. You know, I can't be a part of it.

Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.

If whiteness were of no particular advantage, then having a fuller color wheel of skin tones would be purely a matter of celebration. But whiteness - just a drop of it - does still carry privilege. You learn that very young in America.

He who buys what he does not need steals from himself.

The biggest difference is in the leadership. It was better for us. We had more coaches and mentors to help us. A lot of the younger players today suffer from a lack of direction.

You can plan physically to try to win the Tour, but I could never plan for what was going to happen after it.

An audience can really lift you right up off the stage.

Kevin McCarthy is a good man.

A person is known by the company he keeps........especially if it is in the Fortune 100 list

In practice, downsizing is too often about cutting your work force while keeping your business the same, and doing so not by investments in productivity-enhancing technology, but by making people pull 80-hour weeks and bringing in temps to fill the gap.
