Thought Tweet #529 Howling at the moon won't make it any brighter.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Constructive criticism is an oxymoron...in relationships, it's an interpersonal liberty taken one step too far.

Thought Tweet #528

Thought Tweet #528 Customers hate to be sold but they love to learn, even if you have to teach them how.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Gitomer, and others before him, have said "Customers hate to be sold but they love to buy". 

But, let's face it - sometimes people don't love to buy and, of more importance, 'some things' people don't love to buy. 

Many people enjoy learning and some people need to be taught how to learn...or, at least, reminded.

Thought Tweet #527 Business leaders possess strong drive and will. Those are defining traits. But, there must be more...

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The best business leaders have the ability to focus their drive and will. They focus it, usually, in one of two ways: (1) toward ideas and (2) toward people.

The very-best of business leaders possess extreme drive and will and the ability to pick the perfect focal point, exactly balancing ideas and people.

Thought Tweet #526

Thought Tweet #526 Invest the time it takes to understand people. Understanding provides for trust, motivation, & leadership.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

In part, inspired by a re-reading of Michael Gerber's 'The E-Myth Revisited'. Pick a demographic - learn its psychographics - and don't forget, we're dealing with people...not statistics.

Thought Tweet #525

by Rick Baker
On Jul 20, 2012

Thought Tweet #525 Most people tend to express problems in ways that do not reveal the true source of their pain.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

And most people reply to such cries for help with cries for help.

It's all about the huge influence our unconscious brain exerts, as part of the human condition.
