    The previous Secret focused on rewarding the right activity. Here we’ll look at reinforcing appropriate behaviour – that is, the way things are done rather than what is being done. Use both Secrets together to minimize the number of difficult people.

    This Secret and the previous one have a big thing in common. They are both about rewarding and reinforcing what it is that you want in the business.

    • Look in the mirror. You may be the problem. This chapter helps you to understand yourself and to consider how you appear to others.
    • Step into their shoes. If you are to help people see the need for change, you need to understand those people and discover why they are different to you. In this chapter you will be offered tips on how to create trust and rapport before attempting change.
    • Give difficult people a chance. There is a need for you to display leadership, even though sometimes you may not be the line manager. We will look at clear outcomes, role clarity, reinforcing appropriate behaviour and helpful communication.
    • Use the right tool for the situation. There are many tools
