Putting finger on a weak spot
Identify the hot buttons of others. No one ever talks about their personal agenda, so take a careful look at the people around you. What motivates them? Many crave recognition more than cash. Use this to your own advantage in influencing, encouraging, persuading them. Present your ideas and proposals in a way that accords them the respect they desire. Find out what they need and ensure that they will help you in the future. Watch out for your hot buttons to avoid being manipulated by others.
