12 Ways to Establish Credibility - Dale Carnegie
posted in education, self improvement/self development, Self Improvement |Hi there again
Today my topic will be on 12 ways to establish credibility.
Credibility does not stem only from a person’s credentials or qualifications. Credibility is established through our character, our values, and our acting with integrity. When establishing credibility, it’s not what we know but what we do with what we know.
The 12 ways to establish credibility are :-
1. Take other’s interests to heart - learn what motivates them and help them learn and grow.
2. Honor and find merit in differences of opinion, biases and diversity
3. Involve them in decisions; listen with an open mind; be receptive to new ideas.
4. Speak frankly and decisively and offer evidence
5. Be a modest expert and be willing to defer to other’s expertise
6. Be reliable; fulfill promises ; follow-through
7. Act rationally, fairly and honestly
8. Delegate, then let go.
9. Be a resource - don’t say ,”I don’t know”, say “I’ll find out”
10. Be realistic when communicating goals and outcomes
11. Accept responsibility and admit mistakes, downfalls and disadvantages
12. Share the glory - give others credit for accomplishments.
