Part 2: He leads his people (Influencing people)
- Set others' mood by smiling at them. People will return the smile and be pleasant and easier to influence.
- Find out what appeal to the people; you will persuade them best if what you say contain som of what appeal to people.
- It is human nature not to think of the person in front of you is smarter - better not state directly but quote others.
- Do not ask a person whether he wil do it or not - he is more likely to say "No". Give him choices to make. He'll do the thing you want in the end.
- Praise publicly but criticize privately; criticize the action not the person; do not call a person a fool, nor raise your voice. If you smile and are friendly, people will take your criticism better. Be sure to check facts first before your criticism more willingly.

Learn to delegate roles. This will enable you to do more. Your smarter followers will be glad you recognize their worth.
Part 3: Maintaining the leadership
- If you are not enthusiatic about a thing, others cannot be persuaded to be enthusiatic.
- If you are forever running down people and scolding, people will not like to stick aroud you.
- You must know your stuff. People require guidance and soon recognize and abandon the foolish leader.
- If you are an enthusiatic wise and pleasant leader, people will find it pleasant and good to be with you. People stick longer to enthusiatic wise leaders, especially to caring leaders who treat their followers like a family.
