Whether they realize it or not, business leaders are practicing psychologists in the sense that their attempts to motivate people are based on their assumptions of human nature.

Stephen R. Covey
Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then, he sacrifices his money to recouperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
Dalai Lama

Telling ain’t teaching, and listening ain’t learn’in.

The emphasis in dentistry on efficiency and productivity, the elimination of disease, on making the correct diagnosis, on managing clients, on being scientific and on being professional, led to distancing dentists from their origin as learned men or women, counselors, and teachers.

In a Spirit of Caring
The hallmark of principle-centered power is sustained, proactive influence. Power is sustained because it is not dependent on whether or not something desirable or undesirable happens to the follower. To be proactaive is to coninually make choices based on deeply held values. And principle-centered power is created when the values of the followers and the values of the leader overlap. Principle-centered power is not forced, it is invited, as the personal agendas of both leader and follower are encompassed by a larger purpose. Principle-centered power occurs when the cause or purpose or goal is believed in as deeply by the followers of the leaders.
Stephen Covey
Principle-Centered Leadership
Before we tell others what to do, we need to establish an understanding relationship. The key to your influence with me is your understanding of me. Unless you understand me and my unque situation and feelings, you won’t know how to advise or counsel me. Unless you’re influenced by my uniqueness, I’m not going to be influenced by your advice.
Stephen Covey

Top performing Teams cannot be formed overnight. They require long periods before they can function optimally. Great teams are based on mutual trust and mutual understanding, this takes years to build up. In my experience, three years is about a minimum.
