The Importance of Proper Peopling
How kindness helps you succeed.
If you’re in business, you’re in the business of peopling. I define peopling is being and relating to others. In order to get anything you want done, there’s about a 100% chance you will need another human being to do so.
Even if you spend the bulk of your time behind a computer like me, YOU still need someone on the other side of that screen to view your content, or respond.
I have found that being kind to others, no matter how successful, how wealthy, or how many years in the game, advances your value. People want to work with and for you when you are kind. So, be kind. It’s not that hard to do.
Just be considerate of others’ needs, their time frames, and what else may be going on in their personal and professional lives, and I promise you this will bode much better for you than being nasty or inconsiderate.
