POWER OF NICE

What is “NICE”? Nice is not naive. Nice does not mean smiling

blandly while others walk all over you. Nice does not mean being a doormat. In fact, we would argue that nice is the toughest four-letter word you’ll ever hear. It means moving forward with the clear-eyed confidence that comes from knowing that being very nice and placing other people’s needs on the same level as your own will get you everything you want.

Nice is luckier in love Nice makes more money Nice is healthier Nice spends less time in court Nice people are less likely to die

prematurely Nice people have a lower divorce

rate Companies that foster nice

behavior in their corporate culture enjoy higher revenues

THE SIX POWER OF NICE PRINCIPLES

1. Positive impressions are like seeds-

goodwill is contagious.  Every time you smile at a messenger or laugh at a coworker’s joke, you plant a seed of positive energy and underneath the surface, that seed grows and expands, often exponentially.

2. You never know- that person you offer to share with today may be the

client at tomorrow’s big sales pitch, so treat everyone you meet as he is the most important person in the world- because in reality, he is!  You never know what could happen.

3. People change – assistants do eventually run successful companies . . .

perhaps one you might want to work for one day!  One common mistake is believing that you only have to be nice to people in positions of power, not the assistant or security guard. 

4. Nice must be automatic- small things like holding a door or

offering a seat can actually make the difference in someone’s opinion of you.

5. Negative impressions are like germs- they infect you and everyone around you.  Just as positive actions are like seeds, rude gestures and remarks are like germs- you may not see the impact they have on you for a while, but they are there, silently infecting you and everyone around you.

6. You will know. ultimately, it’s about how you live your life and what

you value.  Even if you never again see a person you have treated badly, you will know. 

Sweeten the deal Help your enemies Tell the Truth “Yes” your way to Top Shut Up and Listen Put your Head on Their shoulders

CONCLUSION This book is all about shows that “nice” companies

have lower employees turnover . Lower recruitment cost and higher productivity. Nice people live longer. Are healthier and make more money in today’s interconnected world. Companies and people with a reputation for cooperation and fair play forge the kind of relationship that lead to bigger and better opportunities, In business and in life.
