Much of today’s leadership writing is a re-hash (read: ripped-off) of early works in the 1900’s. One of these widely cited books is Dale Carnegie’s timeless 1936 classic How to Win Friends and Influence People. Though some might feel it is dated, it offers effective ways of dealing with employees, coworkers, family, and friends. Don’t let the age of the book affect your effectiveness.

When you read these ideas, think of how you could use them with the people you deal with everyday. Implementing some of these are real challenge for many executives and individuals in positions of leadership today.

Twelve Ways of Winning People to Your Way of Thinking

Rule 3: If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

“Influencing others is a matter of disposition not position.”

John C. Maxwell, The 360 Degree Leader

How you show up is more important than where. A fully engaged person will be far more effective than a dud a few levels higher in the organization.

Do you know how you show up?

You better figure it out.

Your co-workers know.

The Global Human Capital Study, 2008 conducted by IBM noted that the primary workforce-related issues facing organizations are:

• Inability to rapidly develop skills to address current/future business needs almost 55%

• Lack of leadership capability about 35%

• Employee skills not aligned with current organizational priorities about 35%

Lack of adaptability is the bottom line in regards to all these workforce issues.

If the workforce was more adaptable it would be able to rapidly change its skill set to reflect current trends as well as align itself with the organization.
