Developing the Aura of Being in
Charge
If you have courage to make decisions and
accept responsibility for your actions, you’ll find that people will
always defer to you.
- Seize every opportunity that offers you
increased responsibility.
- Do every job you are given to the best of your
ability.
- Accept honest criticism and admit mistakes.
- Stick to what you think is right; have the
courage of your convictions.
- Take full responsibility for the failures of
the people under you.
- Assume complete responsibility for your own
actions - for your failures as well as for your successes.
Correcting Someone’s Mistakes - Remember Criticism Destroys
- When a mistake is made correct the mistake,
but don’t criticize the person for making it.
- When you see something wrong, when you see a
mistake being made, simply walk over to the group and ask, “What
happened?”
- What happened? Who did it? You can feel the
difference between the two questions. One is asking for the facts, the
other is looking for the scapegoat.
- Get all the pertinent facts first. You policy
should be: “Don’t tell me what I’d like to hear - Tell
me what I have to hear.”
Other Pointers

of it were impossible to fail.

factors of success. To gain this you must give them your cooperation and
support first.

all times.

statements.
