Let others save face from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

When dealing with people, always remember this principle: "Let others save face." No one likes to feel humiliated or embarrassed in front of others. By allowing others to maintain their dignity and pride, you will earn their respect and goodwill. When you criticize someone, do so in a way that does not attack their character or competence. Instead, offer constructive feedback that focuses on the behavior or action that needs improvement. This way, the other person can learn and grow without feeling personally attacked. If someone makes a mistake, avoid rubbing it in or pointing out their error in front of others. Instead, offer them a way to correct the mistake discreetly and without drawing attention to their blunder. This will help preserve their self-esteem and prevent them from feeling ashamed. In situations where you disagree with someone, do so in a respectful and tactful manner. Avoid belittling their ideas or opinions, and instead, try to find common ground or compromise. By approaching disagreements with empathy and understanding, you can maintain a positive relationship while still expressing your own views. When dealing with difficult people, remember to stay calm and composed. Avoid reacting impulsively or letting your emotions get the best of you. By remaining level-headed and composed, you can defuse tense situations and prevent conflicts from escalating. In all interactions, strive to be considerate and respectful towards others. Treat them with kindness and understanding, even when faced with challenging situations. By practicing empathy and compassion, you can build strong and positive relationships with those around you.
