Billy Florence - The 30 Second Rule
Learning to work with people and make people feel valued is an important part of building teams. One of the best ways to help people feel great is to practice John Maxwell's 30 Second Rule.
In his book 25 Ways To Win With People he teaches the 30 Second Rule. He says to encourage a person within the first 30 seconds of a conversation. This is great advice.
Here are a few tips given in the book to help us practice this:
Forget About:
Searching for ways to make yourself look good.Instead, search for ways to make others look good.
Ask:
What positive, encouraging thing can I say to each person I will see today?
Do It:
Give everyone you meet the Triple-A Treatment - attention, affirmation, and appreciation.
Remember:
Within the first thirty seconds of a conversation, say something encouraging.
I suggest you read the complete chapter on the 30 Second Rule in the book 25 Ways To Win With People. It is truly a great way to help us "win with people."
