If I see someone as a 5, I’ll treat him or her as a 5 and speak to this person as a 5. And more than likely, after a while I’ll convince this person to act as a 5. What’s the value in that? However, if I see someone as a 10, he or she will sense that and is likely to respond in a positive way. If we treat people as who they can become, they will be inspired to rise to the level of our expectations.
