 People Smart...How to get along with other people… Four step system…
This is from my therapy lessons. I find the book itself rather simplistic, but perhaps it is supposed to be that way.
The Four Step System of Being People Smart
(regardless of who you are!)
1. Be naturally agreeable *when possible*
*of course there are many times when it is not possible or practical to agree. None the less, most disagreements are completely unnecessary, and are usually are more a clash of egos than ideas.
2. Tell people *when you agree with them*
3. Don’t disagree (out loud) unless it is absolutely necessary.
4. Admit it when you are wrong.
There are three reasons for the art of being agreeable:
1. People like those who agree with them.
2. People dislike those who disagree with them.
3. People dislike being disagreed with.
