How to address character flaws and focus on their strengths

Addressing character flaws 
As you explore, how can you help others enlarge themselves, you need to address any character issue they may have. Integrity is the foundation upon which everything else must stand on people's lives. No matter how much enlarging you do, there is going to be trouble if the foundation is not solid.

As you examine the character of others,  remember to look beyond their reputation. "character is like tree and reputation like it's shadow. The shadow
is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. Take time to really get to know the people you are enlarging. Observe them in various situations. If you getting to know the people well enough to know how they react in most situations, then you sure will have an idea where any character shortcomings might be.

Note : The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy. Meanwhile your goal should be to help the people you are developing to stand strong in the middle of challenges. But you have to start the little things. "every time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you onwards greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure."

Always help others learn to conduct themselves with integrity in every situation, and they would be able to grow and reach their potential.

Focus on their strengths 
When someone or people begin to work with others on their development, they often gravitate to weakness rather than strengths. Maybe that's because it's so easy to see others problems and shortcomings but if you start by putting your energies into correcting people's weaknesses, you will demoralize them and unintentionally sabotage the enlarging process. 

Instead of focusing on weaknesses, pay attention to people's strengths. Sharpen skills that already exist. Compliment positive qualities. Bring out the gift inherent in them.  Weaknesses can wait; unless they are character flaws. Only after you have developed a strong rapport with them and have begin to grow and gain confidence should you address areas of weakness. Then one at a time, you can handle them gently.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people.

Considerable quotes on a SuperLeader

Perhaps it's time you had a talk with yourself... The teacher does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind - so must each of you develop your own knowledge and your own understanding. We need a healthy appreciation of those who exercise the free man's option for excellence. Most people are very careful about how they talk to others. They apparently are
