Be a Leader

• Begin with praise and honest appreciation
• Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly
• Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person
• Ask questions instead of giving direct orders
• Let the other person save face
• Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise"
• Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to
• Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct
• Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest
