Number 8 on John Maxwell's list of "25 Ways to Win with People" is to Encourage the Dream of Others.
I believe that encouragement is one of the key characteristics of a successful leader. Everyone needs encouragement whether it is at work, at school or in the home and it is the leader's responsibilty to do so. In marriage, so much positive energy comes from a relationship of mutual encouragement. I can't emphasize this point enough. I truly believe that if more marriage partners encouraged each other, we could easily cut the divorce rate in half! An encouraging environment at school or work provides a foundation for excellence and achievement.
Mike's Action Points:1- I will work to encourage everyone in my life.
2- I will practise by encouraging myself and anyone I talk to every day.
3- I will read encouraging books, go to encouraging movies and events and associate with encouraging people.
