Carnegie's Keys to Social Network
Social Networking is the "rage" right now. Some of this might be attributed to the Internet and sites like My Space and Second Life. You could also suggest that Gladwell's book on social power, "The Tipping Point" has added to the emphasis on building strong social networks. So, you might find it interesting that this is really nothing new. In fact, Dale Carnegie's first course has lots on social networking.. and it was so successful in 1916, that began training official "Dale Carnegie Course Instructors." Here are six lessons from Carnegie on building a stronger relationship with others that fit right into today's discussions:
- Become Genuinely Interested in Other People
- Be a Good Listerner
- Encourage others to talk about themselves
- Let the other person do a great deal of the talking
- Talk in terms of the other person's interest
- Give honest and sincere appreciation
