Gaining Loyalty

"Loyalty comes when those you lead see and experience that your concern for their interests and welfare goes beyond simply calculating what they can do for you." -- John Wooden

That's why it's such a blessing to be a person who better giving than receiving. Some people find greatest pleasure in bringing smiles to others' faces. The irony is that these people who earn loyalty most easily, are also the ones who demand it the least.

The easiest gift in the world to give, besides a smile, is a parking spot. You know, when you're about to leave a crowded lot with no spaces, and someone's circling desperately. You wave to catch their attention, then march like a pied piper to your car and drive away as their happy-meter hits the top of the scale.
