§ Work on not being so offended by others’ actions and so quick to assign blame. Check out my assumptions.
§ Don’t expect people to change immediately just because I gave them advice that I know is right. Sometimes things need to percolate and people need time to adjust and adapt. Practice greater patience and tolerance.
§ Try to forgive quickly when I feel wronged. Try not to carry grudges or stay angry. Practice letting go and not holding on to things for so long.
§ Be mindful of when my body language is conveying feelings of resentment. Glaring looks, pursed lips, and cold shoulder silences can be hurtful to others.
§ Try to be open to other ways of doing things. Other ideas and solutions are not necessarily wrong, just different. Accept that there is more than one way to do something and not everything is black or white.
§ Try to be more generous with praise.

HOW OTHERS CAN HELP PRINT® 1 BE IN BEST SELF
§ Offer logical, rational, well thought out explanations, not emotional appeals to get their attention. Don’t try to “sell” them—they distrust hype.
§ Allow them to react to an idea—let them share their agreement or disagreement. Don’t shut them down or tell them flat out they are wrong.
§ Don’t directly attack their point of view. Find a way to validate their perspective while still holding your ground.
§ Try to nail things down (guidelines, structures, protocols). Avoid abstractions. Don’t keep plans loose and disorganized. Be precise.
§ Give them time to work through the details and logical flow before requiring a decision from them. Correct and admit mistakes. Apologize and don’t make excuses.
§ When working with them, pay attention to rules, keep your commitments and do things the way they are supposed to be done.

Spell check and review grammar before sending to your One recipient so s/he doesn’t see you as “untrustworthy” or “undependable” or “sloppy.” Ones tend to focus on errors or mistakes and can end up missing the main message. If you text, be brief and to the point.
§ Don’t tell them too many different things or ask for too many different things in one communication so they can do one thing before starting another, which is how they prefer to work.
§ If trying to persuade or explain a position, use logic and rational explanations and avoid emotional diatribes. Avoid abstractions, hype and overselling.
