How to Start Changing Someone's Point of View

We are always told not to make hasty decisions but always put ourselves in others' shoes and come to understand their point of view and talk accordingly. The modern question now arises: Is it at all possible to change someone's point of view? Read on to find out.

Here are a few schemes:

1) Give examples from real life

For instance, your spouse is heavily addicted to drinking beverages. You know someone who is hospitalized and in a critical condition for having too much of drinks per day. You take your hubby coaxingly to the hospital and give him an example of what you have been saying about his addiction. Most probably your hubby's mind will shift and he will start to take the required measures.

If he is not convinced already, take him to an alcoholic healing center and show him how people there, having been addicted to drinking, are having a hard time to recuperate. Gradually he will reduce his beverages intake and become a healthy and spirited human being.

2) Be an example yourself

Many people have the notion that girls are less than boys. While girls are naturally weaker in strength, they have the heart of a king. They can do anything they put their mind to and lead others by example. Why don't you be an example and show your fellow mates what quality, talent and caliber you possess? Express these openly to some extent so that the overall impression they have of you shifts to some extent as well.

3) Provide Evidence

You are a quiet and shy person. But you score high grades in class. Naturally classmates who thought you were lousy and lunatic flock around you to get some valuable tips. You are suddenly in the spotlight just because you gave your class some living proof of your virtues. As a result, your classmates realize that their initial thoughts about you were wrong.

4) Mix and spend a lot of time in it

You have a crush on somebody but you are unable to convince him to go on a date. He is kind of a nerd but you badly want to be friends with him. Give him small gifts and flowers. Cut jokes with him and prove to him you are a good company for him and that you are great for him. Don't try your luck too hard nor push him forcibly into action. Go slow and he will be convinced.

These are some the great ways to gradually start changing someone's perspective and, on the contrary, to start making the other person idolize you, thinking the world about you and agreeing with your opinions earnestly. It is only a matter of a little mind shift that you need to initiate in the other person(s) and you will bounce in joy when everything turns successfully your way.

Tony Robbins: A New Mind, a New You (PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT)

The law of attraction is a powerful force - what are you focusing on in your life? Are you getting the results you want? Or more of what you don't want?

Check out this video from the man, the legend himself, Mr Tony Robbins!

I Ended Up Getting Defensive

Whilst I was helping a friend to move house a number of years ago, I ended up meeting someone there who was into self-development. It didn't take long for me to see that we had a lot in common.

Not only this, he also worked as a photographer and made videos. I thought that everything was falling into place and that it would only be a matter of time before we were making videos and documentaries together.

Another Reason

However, while I had everything worked out in my mind and believed that we had been brought together to create videos, I soon found out that this wasn't the case. In reality, I had come into contact with someone who would teach me a hell of a lot.

When I look back on this time in my life, it was as though I had all this energy but it wasn't being used in the right way. I would say that the person I had met, on the other hand, had been around the block a few times, so to speak, and had his feet firmly on the ground.

A Human Doing

At this stage in my life, I was focused on doing things and trying to go further with my writing career. This was just part of it, though; the other part was that I would often feel angry and frustrated with how things were going.

It was then similar to having a lot of fire power, but not being able to hit any of the targets that had been pinpointed. Still, I did what I could to not get caught up in these moments in my life and to keep going.

A Different Approach

This person wasn't extremely motivated, which meant that he wasn't tearing around trying to achieve things. I found it hard to understand what was going on, and I couldn't work out why he wasn't more motivated.

I would often ask him if he felt the need to achieve certain things and, when he said that he didn't, I thought it was strange. But while I thought this was strange, he probably thought that it was strange that I needed to achieve so much.

The Big Question

During the moments when we would get together, he would often ask me why I wanted to do something and what I was looking to receive after I had experienced something. When he first started asking me this, I felt as though I was being judged.

I thought that he was asking me this because he was against what I wanted to achieve and the experiences that I was having. As far as I was concerned, I was on the right track so there was no need for me to change my approach.

A Seed Had Been Planted

Yet even though I felt uncomfortable when he asked me this, I did my best to answer the question. After our time together had come to an end, I would think about what he said but I would soon think about other things.

What had stopped me from being able to change my behaviour was that I felt worthless - I had to achieve things to feel good about myself. Along with this, I had been spending time with people who were just as driven as I was.

Trapped

If I had listened to my feelings and ignored what he said, I wouldn't have been able to reflect on what he said. I would have believed that he was trying to hold me back and I might even have pulled away.

However, while this would have stopped me from feeling uncomfortable, it wouldn't have allowed me to grow. I would then have done everything I could to "kill the messenger" and I probably would have suffered as time went by.

A New Beginning

Instead of gradually being able to settle down and to realise my value, I might still be tearing around trying to achieve things and getting angry and frustrated in the process. Also, he wasn't asking me these questions to undermine me; he was asking them to find out if I was aware of why I was doing something or had done something.

What this makes me think about is how our feelings are not always right, and if we always allow them to define our behaviour it will set us up to suffer. Being able to step back and to observe out inner processes is vital.

The Messenger

If we had made more films and these conversations didn't take place, I might still be doing the same things. Therefore, although I believed that I needed new videos at this stage in my life, what I actually needed was a new outlook.

This is one of the reasons why I am grateful that I came into contact with Wain Gordon.

Focus is the key!

Does Your Business Team Lie to You?

I was recently reminded of a story about Alan Mulally. One September in 2006, he walked into the offices of the legendary car manufacturer, Ford Motor Company, to assume the role of president and CEO. Before this point, he had been the chief that turned Boeing around from lackluster performance, and Ford was hoping he would deliver the same kind of magic to Ford.

At the time, Ford was on the brink of bankruptcy and things were grim for the American auto-maker. As he reflected in a subsequent interview, "In September '06, when I arrived, the first forecast I saw for profitability was a $17 billion loss. And we achieved it."*

Remarkably, the first meeting he had with his senior team produced a different picture for Mulally. During the meeting, Mulally patiently sat through presentations where senior company executives presented reports that looked great. Everyone, it seemed, was hitting their targets. He couldn't believe it.

He then reminded them that they had wholly succeeded--at losing billions of dollars.

He then asked them to try again.

(Pause)

Finally, one executive spoke up and began to provide Mulally with the less than rosy picture, which happened to be the real and raw truth. The executive then asked for help.

What do you think happened next?

Do you think Mulally ripped into the executive?

On the contrary, he stood up and applauded the person who dared to tell him the truth.

The Most Valuable Player

As a CEO of multiple brands, I don't want to hear from my team about how good we're doing. Nothing is perfect, and I know it. I want to be challenged and want everyone on my team to do better, and the only way that happens is if all of us hear the truth. The most valuable player on my team is not the top salesperson, it's the person who dares to bring ideas to the table where he or she sees room for improvement.

What Would You Have Done?

If you were faced with a turn-around situation of any kind and you walked into your first meeting as Mulally did years ago, what would you have done? The reality is that good management practice begins with the leader. Would you have done what Mulally did and publicly support the person that spoke up or would you have done something different, like shoot the messenger? Unfortunately, I've seen it happen too often. The best teams don't only focus on what the leadership wants to hear; they trust in their leaders and the environment that allows them to speak about what's not working so it can be improved.

Best Strategy to Make People Speak Up

Want to know what's one of the best things you can do if you're a manager and want your team to be frank and candid with you? Create the space and environment that fosters collaboration and discussion. That means that as a manager, you have to talk less and listen more. If someone brings you a challenge or an area in need of improvement, listen to what this person has to say. And, then ask questions.

Digging Deeper

I've been in sales for almost my entire life, and the best sales professionals and also leaders understand that listening is one of the best skills they can cultivate. However, along with being open to what your team has to say, you also want to dig deeper so you can gain a thorough understanding of an issue and perhaps even help develop strategic solutions. You can accomplish this by asking first, second and third level questions and you don't have to know sales to get to the heart of the matter.

First, Second and Third Level Questions

When you're presented with new information, get in the habit of asking questions and listen carefully to the responses. First level questions help you understand the situation and clarify the issue. They are top-line questions, that deal with what, when and how? Second level questions go a little deeper and are follow-up questions and primarily deal with why. These questions are asking for insight into why decisions were made. Finally, third level questions address emotion: fear of missing out or desiring reward. These questions are excellent to ask when you're trying to understand the emotional barrier that has prevented a solution to a problem, such as a direct report that does not want to go around his manager when he has reported a problem, but the manager has not addressed it. A leader can uncover these emotions (and drivers for action and inaction) by saying things like, "If I were to look at this program for myself, do you think I'd see what you see?" Another one could be, "If you were given everything you needed to make sure the job got done, how would you do it and what would you need to get the job done?"

If you're a manager, ask yourself if you're the kind of leader who--had you been in Mulally's place--shot the messenger when the person spoke up or if you would have listened so you can foster a business environment that supports transparency, accountability, trust, and teamwork. Get yourself in the habit of listening more and asking more in-depth questions, and it will go a long way toward helping you achieve excellent results.
