JOHN MAXWELL ON CONNECTING WITH A GROUP

To connect with a group, you must take imitative with the people in the group. To do that, do the following:

• Look for ways to compliment people in the group for their ideas and actions.

• Look for ways to add value to people in the group and what they’re doing.

• Don’t take credit when the group succeeds, and don’t cast blame when it fails.

• Find ways to help the group celebrate successes together.
