The Sweetest Sound in Any Language !
I stumbled upon a Great Idea.
Andrew Carnegie, the Steel King while Running his Steel mills never got any Strike Disturbances by his workers during his tenure and the Reason being, that His workers loved him like anything.
There was a Reason behind that.He have learned about the Human Psychology pretty well.He believed that A person seeks For the feeling of Importance.
What was his Secret You ask ?
Well, He memorized the SWEETEST SOUND IN ANY LANGUAGE.
What is that sound You ask ?
That sound is a Person's Name.
Andrew Carnegie memorized almost every workers Name and addressed them using their Name which was a Big deal for the worker because the Richest Man of that Time knew that Worker's name.The Worker felt Important because Andrew carnegie knew his or her Name.
NOW THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!
Think about meeting a friend from some Random Seminar you went to after a Long Long time and while You have forgotten his name, he walks down to you and Address you by your name and says Hi.You will feel Awesome.Won't You ?
Practical Implication : Hardwire the Habit of Memorizing the names of people you come in contact with everyday and make sure, whenever you meet them, Address them with their name and they will feel Important.They will Love you for remembering their Name.
Thats is A Very Positive Habit and Powerful at the same time.
Keep Learning Keep Growing :-)
