IV, PRINCIPLE 9 - Make the other person happy to do what you want

1. Don't promise anything you cannot deliver.
2. Know exactly what it is you want the other to do.
3. Be empathetic.
4. Consider the benefits that person will receive from doing what you suggest.
5. Match those benefits to the other wants.
6. When you make your request, put it in a form that'll convey to the idea that he personally will benefit.

PART IV, PRINCIPLE 5 - Let the other person save face

How important, how vitally important that is! And how few of us ever stop to think of it! We ride roughshod over the feelings of others, getting our own way, finding fault, issuing threats, criticizing a child or an employee in front of others, without even considering the hurt to the other person’s pride.

PART IV, PRINCIPLE 4 - Ask questions instead of giving direct orders


A technique like that makes it easy for a person to correct errors. A technique like that saves a person’s pride and gives him or her a feeling of importance. It encourages cooperation instead of rebellion.

People are more likely to accept an order if they have had a part in the decision that caused the order to be issued.
