How to Win Friends & Influence People By Dale Carnegie
For some reason, successful leaders seem to know how to effectively handle people, to win friends and to influence people…
These leaders have built their entire life and professional career around people by following basic principles.
Wining Friends
Leaders understand that relationships can take you to the next level. Therefore, they tend to:
1. Avoid negative reviews
Leaders who are socially skilled avoid making complaints, condemning people, or manufacturing open and public criticism.
They understand that negative criticism generally breeds resentment.
Instead, they try to understand where the people are coming from.
2. Find out what the people really want
Most people care about their health, self-preservation, food, sleep, money, a craving for sincere appreciation and a desire for importance…
Furthermore, appreciation does not consist in giving cheap flattery but in honest appreciation.
If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I’ll tell you what you are. - Dale Carnegie Click To Tweet
3. Show people how to get what they want
To show people what they want and how to get it, leaders:
- Consider the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.
- Learn to see things from the other person’s point of view.
Influencing People
Influencing people is a basic and important skill in leadership.
That is why leaders who seek to increase their leadership:
1. Genuinely become interested in other people
They understand human nature, truly enjoy the interaction with people and do things for other people without any ulterior motives.
In addition, they remember people’s name, learn to smile and to be cheerful in their presence.
Indeed, smiling is contagious and can change an entire situation.
2. Become versed in the art of conversation
Being a great conversationalist starts by listening to people and encouraging people to talk about themselves.
Therefore, leaders find out the other person’s interest and start from there.
3. Obey the Golden Rule
Leaders observe the rules of human relationships.
As a consequence, they obey the Golden Rule and give unto others what we would have others give unto us.
4. Use diplomacy
To win people over to your way of thinking, they:
- Are diplomatic.
- Avoid arguments at all cost.
- Never tell a person that they are wrong.
- Consider the other person’s feelings, ideas and point of view.
- Show respect for another person’s point of view.
- Admit their wrongs and appeal to nobler motives.
- Admit their mistakes and talk about them.
- Don’t give direct orders but suggestions.
- Give people the opportunity to make decisions for themselves and to correct themselves.
- Don’t hurt people’s self-esteem and don’t diminish them in their own eyes
Review
How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie aims to educate adults into building healthy relationships and climbing up the social ladder.
Dale Carnegie shares contemporaneous and pragmatic principles that serve as guidelines for leaders who wish to network and grow their social capital.
Most of these principles are essential to life as much as the business world and will increase your skill in human relationship.
However, Dale Carnegie promotes the praising or “sucking up” game and uses the term “friend” very loosely.
That is because most of the principles are geared towards the business world and most of his examples are taken from people who have successfully implemented these principles.
Unfortunately, praises don’t work on everybody and is not a solution to all problems.
Let me know below what you think about this book!

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.
But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.Hurting people not only does not change them, it is never called for.
