Aspire to be a CEO? Treat all people as special.

People are people.
They are more than people.They are mothers, fathers, friends, coaches, teachers, volunteers, photographers, charity workers and contributors. They can do a lot of things if they are appreciated and they can do it better if they are motivated and thanked.
Successful managers make people feel special. People who work with excellent mangers feel that they
are needed not used…
are contributors, not costs…
are workers not worked…
are instrumental, not instruments
are sold on what to do, not told…
are people, not personnel…
are measured, not monitored…
are asked, not questioned..
are well paid, not underpaid.

What do people around you have in common with a killer whale?  Both whales and people perform at their best when you accentuate the positive. It is important, therefore, to always redirect negativity to increase productivity both at work and at home….. read the book
