Dale Carnegie wrote the manifesto on this subject in 1934. Human nature being
what it is, what he wrote then is still true today. I recommend that you
include Dale Carnegie's book when you purchase Colin Moock's Essential
Actionscript 3 book.
Here are a few chapter titles. Take a look and see if some of the titles apply
to your situation and approach.
Begin in a friendly way.
Call attention to other people's mistakes indirectly.
Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never tell someone they are wrong.
Ask questions instead of directly giving orders.
Don't criticize.
