Carnegie Advice

The advice that Carnegie gives to help people succeed in the business world still holds true today. No one likes being criticized or ostracized if they mess up, especially if they are socially humiliated at work. Constructive criticism is the best way to approach a situation where you or your coworker are incorrect.
The quote of give people a feeling of importance is definately still sound advice today. The generation entering the workforce now is one that has been raised on immediate gratification and constant rewarding towards behavior. It is easier to win someone and get them to work hard for you if they are recognized for their efforts afterwards. It is very essential to build goodwill with the employee/employer relationship, and also within coworkers as well. By doing that it will increase their willingness to help out.
Arousing desires within people is key to getting them to work harder. Giving incentives for their extra effort will make them want to continue to work hard for you. Carnegie's advice is still valuable today.
