In my interactions with my family, my central thought is always about what I can do for them, not what they can do for me. This principle extends beyond my family to my religious practices, business relationships, and all other interactions. I don’t take an authoritarian approach with my managers and their employees; instead, I act as their mentor, employing every possible method to support their spiritual and financial success.
The Business Principle of Giving Prioritizing
He replied, “One of my business principles is never to offer anything in less than complete quantities. Traditionally, if customers make significant purchases, we give them an item for free.” He elaborated, “You know that we need our customers more than they need us, and we aim to acquire as many customers as possible with whatever strategies we adopt.””
He continued, “I’ve realized that this approach and principle follow everything of existence. When it involves my circle of relatives, I constantly consider what I can do for them, not what they could do for me. Moreover, I apply this principle to my worship/church, my business relationships, and all other interactions.”
Applying Kennedy’s Principles
At the start of the second phase of an investment seminar, I said to Peter, “You’ve achieved remarkable results by practically applying Kennedy’s principles. Why don’t others use them as well?”
Peter responded, “I don’t know, but many people in the business world don’t understand that the ‘give and take’ method is not just a concept or theory but a highly practical principle. Respecting and honoring others makes you prosperous, although people are not used to this beneficial cycle of giving gifts.”
Prioritizing Respect and Prosperity in Business
From years of experience as a business consultant, I have concluded that the main reason for aggressive union activities, employee absenteeism, strikes, sluggish work, and related issues in a business is that the top executives do not treat their employees with respect and dignity. If you are a manager or a high-ranking official, you might not like reading this statement. However, read it again because it is entirely accurate and true.In many organizations, leaders respect raw materials, machines, and other inanimate objects more than employees. Leaders should respect and value employees.Managers who genuinely and sincerely respect their lower and common employees empower their workforce with such strength and capability that employees’ loyalty and performance yield outstanding results for the organization.
