Gain the willing cooperation of others:
16. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
What is right, not who is right, is most important. By following this principle, we build another person's confidence and willingness to share ideas and strengthen the team.

17. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.
The other person's point of view may be clearer than ours. Learn what you can from other points of view.

18. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.
Being understanding and sympathetic is a sure way of keeping channels of communication open.

19. Appeal to the nobler motives.
Most people will work very hard for ideals and the higher aims of the organization if they know what they are and how they apply in a particular situation.

20. Dramatize your ideas
A unique idea should have a unique package. Use creative approaches to help sell your ideas.

21. Throw down a challenge
Most of us have a competitive side. Challenging others to action often produces unexpected positive results.
