Have you ever spent time thinking about what other people really want?
My guess is if you think about what you want, you will be able to understand what other people want.
Seth Godin summarizes his list of what people want as:
Dignity
Kindness
A fair shot at achievement
A chance to speak up
To be heard
The benefit of the doubt
I think that list is full of things we all want!
It is often said that to understand someone else you have to walk in their shoes. But really, all you have to do is think about what you would want, and my guess is that it will lead you right to the answer.
Until next time…I’m Marty, make every minute count.
