Continuing with day four of our Daily Leadership Tip Series, today we focus on remembering names.

Have you ever been in one of those situations where you run into someone that you have met before and can’t remember that person’s name?  It can be an awkward situation for both you and the other person.  

 When we remember someone’s name, we’re telling him, “You’re important.”  Therefore, when we forget a person’s name, we may leave the opposite impression.

 Do you want great service at a restaurant?  Call the waitress by name when you place your order.  

 Want to be the center of influence at a party?  

 Introduce people you just met to others at the party.  

 People love to hear their own name.  In fact, Dale Carnegie said that “a person’s name is to that person, the sweetest most important sound in any language.”

If you want to be a good people person, focus on remembering names.  They will feel more important because you remembered, and they will think more of you as well.
