Harteis: Carnegie Success Story
Dale had a dream to excel; his mother prompted him to join the schools public speaking team. After several attempts he finally made it on the team.
His journey toward success was a slow and deliberate one. Regardless of the setbacks keep moving.
Harteis: Case Study Success Story Yesterday and Today Dales principles are as accurate today as they were at the beginning of the last century.People react as people, Dale learned and taught how to best communicate with our fellow Man and Ourselves. For example, his book “How to stop worrying and start living” Gave me great hope to focus on what I could control not things beyond my control. If we all do the good we can do, with what we have there is no need to worry. Business success is 87% people skill and 13% business skill. I firmly believe that the early exposure to Dale Carnegie’s writings has given me a high advantage. His principles are needed today every bit as much as when they were first written.

After college he had a sales job, did very well but was UN fulfilled. After the sales career he wanted to teach others what he had learned. With great dedication and devotion he developed his training courses, which are still growing today. He also wrote several books on human behavior and communications, which have sold in the millions.
The second book I read by Dale was “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, and I read and studied it during my high school days. The benefits have been astounding. While in college I was elected class president three times only because of the principles followed in Dale Carnegies Books. I was a shy farm boy, but gained great confidence in public relations skills and people skills from being a student of the common sense wisdom of Dale.
The world would be a better place if everyone would embrace the teachings of Dale Carnegie.
