    A few more workplace truths

    power-of-listening.bmpRecently my 10 Essential Understandings garnered a lot of attention worldwide (thanks for all the cool responses). While going through my Management Development Program workbook earlier today, I found a complementary list of bullet points that people might similarly enjoy. And so, quick and easy, here are a few more workplace truths:

    - Manipulation has no place in relationship management. Pulling someone’ strings to get what you want at the expense of what they want is not emotional intelligence, it is manipulation.

    - Motivating others involves cooperative discovery to uncover the other person’s definition of “win.”

    - Leading a team means not violating your team members’ sovereignty, and not using guile to make them do something they don’t want to do.

    - Motivating others involves a genuine inquiry during which you learn what other people want, and then working with them to help them achieve it.
