“Give people a reputation to live up to."
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- Empathy is one of the most important characteristics of a great leader (Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger)
- A 20 year gap in books written... Why? Dr. Cialdini wanted to have sufficient research for Pre-Suasion
- How the process of "Pre-Suading" happens -- A story shared
- Story of a business partner who screwed up -- How he primed him by saying "I hate when this happens to nice guys like you"
- When you receive a job offer, ask for advice from your mentors -- Their response might surprise you
- When you ask for advice, you develop a partnership and you collaborate. That person becomes part of your and your success
- The proper way to start every interview (when you are being interviewed): "I would like for you to answer a couple questions for me before we start... Why did you want me here? Why am I great for this role?" This will prime the interviewer to share positives about you. They will work to prove themselves right (about what they said of you) throughout the rest of the interview.
- The art of priming -- People want to prove themselves right
- How to get a raise or a promotion? When people are uncertain or fear they will lose you (assuming you provide value), they likely fear losses more than achieving gains. It benefits the organization to hold on to (and it's cheaper) great talent.
- Reciprocity - Why should a man give flowers at the beginning of a date?
- Unity - Donald Trump claims to be an outsider -- "We're in this together as outsiders. We are the same group." It resonates with people and creates unity.
- The Beijing Restaurant experiment
- The profession of selling -- The new way of thinking: How to create trust = Start with a weakness of your product. Warren Buffett does this better than anyone
- Great leaders need to be effective inside an organization
- Learnt the power of asking for advice
"We are in this together. We are of the same group."
