How you can

“MAKE”

Your People successful

Simon Wilby
Let me begin by telling you why
slideshow will be important to you!

this
An old friend of mine had a dog-and pony act and spent his life
traveling with circuses and shows. I loved to watch him train
the new dogs for his act. I loved watching this because of what
it could teach us as people about crafting a successful team.
Here is what I noticed..
Every time and I mean every time he was training the new dog and he
noticed even the smallest improvement, he patted and praised the dog
and gave him meat and made a huge deal about it to the animal. While
this is not anything new there is an opportunity that is there to apply
this practice in business as well.
Why don’t we use this same level of common sense when trying to train
people that we use when training dogs?
Why don’t we use meat instead of a whip? Why don’t we use praise instead
of condemnation? Let us praise even the slightest improvement.
This small change inspires people to “KEEP ON IMPROVING”
Whatever it is, do it. Instantly you'll be a little different from the rest of
the pack. Then keep going. Every day, think of one thing to do that no
one else is willing to do. After a week you'll be uncommon. After a
month you'll be special. After a year you'll be incredible, and you
definitely won't be like anyone else.
Praise is likened to sunlight to the warm beautiful human spirit; we cannot
flower and grow without it in our enviornment. Be different, think different.
Words have the power of life and death. Choose life next time you have the
chance. When someone does a task wrong choose to praise what they did
do right within the task or find some sort of silver lining in that situation.
I can look back at my life in the wonder years and see where a few short
words of praise have sharply changed my own life. Can’t you say the same
thing about your life? History is full of examples of the transformative
powers of praise.
Many years ago, a ten year old boy was working in a factory in Naples. He
longed to become a singer, but his music teacher discouraged him saying
you haven't any voice at all “you cannot sing he asserted to the boy and
your voice “was like a frogs croak in a can” his teacher exclaimed! Ouch!
But his mother, a poor peasant woman, put her loving arms around the
boy and praised him saying to him that she knew he could sing, she
could already see an improvement within his voice. She then over the
course of time went barefoot buying no shoes in order to save money
to pay for his music lessons.
Do you know what happened? That peasant mothers praise and
encouragement changed that boys life. His name was the great
Enrico Caruso, and he grew to become the greatest and most
famous Opera Singer of his age.
12. Work, Finish, Let Go, Work Harder
Work hard, do great work, and let it go. Your customers will tell you
what needs to be improved, and that means you'll get to make
improvements that actually matter. You can't accomplish anything until
you let go. Do your best, let go - and then trust that you'll work hard to
overcome any shortcomings.
13. Find your role model of success
Pick someone who has accomplished what you would like to accomplish
and follow that path. Confident people are able to recognize excellence
in others, because it does take self-confidence to admit someone else is
smarter, better, faster, etc. than we are. Don't feel the need to reinvent
perfectly good wheels.
14. Do what others haven’t done yet
Most successful people don't succeed simply because they're
smarter, more talented, or genetically gifted. Usually the one
thing that makes them different from us is the fact they have
done what we haven't done yet.
15. Not expect to be perfect, but better
Successful people don't expect to be perfect, but they do think they can
always be better. Think about your day. Think about what went well. Then
think about what didn't go as well as it could have. Take responsibility.
And promise yourself that tomorrow, you will do a lot better.
