My 10-year-old son finished the “Go-Giver” recently. It’s one of the most beloved business books with the central theme around giving.
I asked him to recap the most valuable lessons he learned from reading the book. I share them below exactly as he shared them with me.
Cutting people down is counterproductive.
By encouraging people to do their best, they can actually move faster and freer. Inevitably, that might end up being a motivator for us to find our next gear if we needed it.
Kindness is a win-win.
It’s not a weakness.
We want people to accept the updated version of ourselves when we put ourselves through the work to change.
This is the new me, we shout! Embrace me. I’m different than before. Give me recognition!
But we have to remember that others are going through their own transformations. They may not be talking about it as much or sharing their journey for all to see. But we might notice some changes.
