11 Ways to Lose Friends & Alienate People
And What To Do About It (Not Just the Opposite of How to Win Friends & Influence People)
Let me be clear:
This is NOT a post of things to do if you want to lose friends (although you could use it that way.)
This is also not a post to help you make friends by doing the opposite of what is said here. To make friends and influence people, just go read the classic How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
What is the purpose of this article?
Twofold:
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is an observation of how leaders, educators, coaches, parents, “friends,” haters…anyone in a position of influence may be failing others at work and life.
