What are their values and goals?l Help people build self-confidence During my early years in management, I realized the great power of expectations. As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them. So I learned that if I want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their ability to achieve. This belief must be educated. If I want them to achieve more, I must help them build their trust in themselves first.l Develop peoples recognition(认可) Whenever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they dont get enough recognition. Sad, isnt it? But how much recognition they give to others? In fact, recognition could be developed by praising and appreciating each other in a team. Encourage everyone in your team to recognize achievements in others. Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if theyre not receiving recognition.l Encourage people to be creative We have created our life just the way we choose to have it, or at least the way weve settled for it. Those who have been told they are creative will probably use their creativity bravely. Others who havent had their creativity encouraged will mostly believe they are uncreative. I suggest you encourage your people to be creative and brave in trying out new ideas.Building Your Business, Building Your People What an exciting thing to dodeveloping a successful business! 1 .
