The author provides some basic techniques for managing people effectively. He says that one should affirm others and not blindly criticize or condemn them. In the digital world, criticizing and condemning others can have unwanted results. Also, to get the planned output from others, one must forget their own perspective and see things from their point of view.

Carnegie says that one can make good friends and connections by being genuinely interested in others. One should also be happy and sport a smile which will make others feel positive and good. People should communicate with others using their names. This makes them feel important and valued and they will attentively listen to what is being said. It is also important to be a good listener which enables one to understand other’s perspective and interests. For ensuring long-lasting connections, the conversation should focus on other people’s interest. The golden rule for treating others is to treat them like we want others to treat us. If one can make others feel important in a sincere manner, we can win friends for life.
