Attending builds friendships and acknowledging builds friendships. Friendships require equality and
friendships require loyalty from friends. It takes three years to build true friendship.
In most cases, the development from acquaintance to friendship occurs gradually. We reach out to
offer friendship by offering a potential friend caring, listening, talking, sharing, accepting, and affirming. It
takes time and effort to build friendship. They are built slowly, slowly, slowly…yet, nothing can add more
to your life than having truly intimate friends. "Just friends" is a goal which is well worth pursuing!
Self-disclosure is usually the first step in establishing a confident. And it is scary because of the
potential rejection factor. Do it anyway!
Listening and acknowledging builds friendships. Often when your child, lover/partner, or friend tells
you a story or voices a complaint, he/she is just asking for acknowledgement. This does not mean that
he/she wants agreement or compliance; it merely indicates a desire to be heard and understood.
Many conflicts in our personal relationships can be avoided if you take the time to acknowledge
others" feelings and points of view.
Listening and attending builds friendships. Paying attention to someone is called "attending".
It means that your ears, your eyes, your body and your feelings are all focused on that person at one
time. Attending is a very important part of any relationship. Looking at and focusing on another person
shows that you are "there for him/her".
Friends are equal. Without equality, you can"t have a close friendship. Friends are loyal and
trustworthy. No one can confide in someone they can not trust to be loyal and to keep his/her secrets.
Allow time for friendship to grow!
Leadership is the art of getting someone to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
People naturally want to follow a good leader. After meeting with an effective leader it is not unusual to
feel uplifted(情绪高涨), inspired, and motivated to work towards a common goal.
An effective leader makes others feel good about themselves, as well as the work they are doing. The
leader has a vision(幻想)of what he or she wants to achieve, and can communicate that vision to others in a way that makes people want to be part of it. One thing a good leader typically does is to communicate
the big picture, so that each employee can see how the particular role he or she plays makes a
contribution to the final result.
Good leaders are positive and optimistic when they speak about the future. Their enthusiasm wins
them plenty of supporters who help make their vision a reality.
Good leaders also understand that different people are motivated by different things. For employees
motivated by a need for achievement, a leader explains how the task offers an opportunity to take on a
challenge with an achievable goal. And employees are motivated by hearing how they will be part of a
team of people working together.
Good leaders will introduce employees by name first, rather than job titles. They refer to employees as
team members, companions, or colleagues, never as "servants". Words have power, including the power
to make people feel whether or not they are important to the success of an organization.
Good leaders believe that every team member matters and set up environments that make everyone
feel important. It is no wonder they can attract the support they need to help them achieve their goals.
