    Cyn­thia “Cindy” Montsinger, Aegis CMCA®, AMS® •  peo­ple have the abil­ity to change and a good leader can effec­tively moti­vate his or her team to excel. A snipit from “Dale Carnegie’s Golden Book — Be a Leader:
    1) Begin with praise and hon­est appreciation.

    2) Call atten­tion to people’s mis­takes indirectly.

    3) Talk about your own mis­takes before critiz­ing the other person.

    4) Ask ques­tions instead of giv­ing direct orders.

    5) Let the other per­son save face.

    6) Praise the slight­est improve­ment and praise every improve­ment. Be “hearty in your approva­tion and lav­ish in your praise”.

    7) Give the other per­son a fine rep­u­ta­tion to live up to.

    8) Use encour­age­ment. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

    9) Make the other per­son happy about doing the thing you request”.

    In a nut­shell — Do not lead by fear or intim­i­da­tion. It is much more effec­tive to be pos­i­tive and inspiring
