Dale Carnegie was the kind of person that wanted to help people. And not just friends, but all people he could reach. And he succeeded! His legacy will stay for ever after.

I know that much has been written about this wonderful person, so I wouldn’t repeat things said, but I will however write down my favorite quotes from his book How to Win Friends and Influence. But I intend to quote not only him, but also the expert people he quoted. Mr. Carnegie interviewed successful people in order to discover the techniques they used in human relations. After all, where else could we get the best idea and advice, if not from such great knowledgeable people? In this sense he was a true entrepreneur, and I am proud to say that I tried his system and it worked.

I know that some of you may say that his ideas and values are out of date, but think for just one moment - are they really?! How well off would we all be if we lived by his ideals and principles. Our business world would only prosper from such strong and fundamental basis.

Instead of condemning people, let’s try to understand them. Let’s try to figure out why they do what they do. That’s a lot more profitable and intriguing then criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance, and kindness. “To know all, is to forgive all”. I hope his words will help you, as much as they did me.

Yours,

Opher.

This will be a short thank you post for everyone who helped me pull off an amazingly successful event for HR managers.

On May 9th, we covered the Brayer Group’s unique methodology and how it applies to large organizations and individuals alike.

Over 150 human resource executives helped make the event a success. Here are some highlights:

• We started out by illustrating the “spaghetti” of organizational processes, as one participant commented:

  

• After demonstrating how to unravel conflicting organizational agendas, we took a closer look at the human personal operating system:

  

• Followed by my favorite part - connecting with you !

  

And last but not least, a short excerpt from my presentation. For those of you who need to brush up on Hebrew skills, this is the gist of what I had to say:

“So there’s a common thread to the needs of the organization and those of its employees – correct ?

… And you find yourself managing 2500 employees – each with an agenda of their own. “

And I leave it up to you to guess what my agenda is
