Tom Krieglstein explains how to handle Negative Nellies, people who pull others out of community. Ask them for a favor. The Benjamin Franklin effect shows people like you more when they help you, so inviting them to contribute can turn them into collaborators instead of adversaries.
In dance floor theory, we call these people that you have this adversarial relationship with. We call them Negative Nellies. They are the ones who are actively pulling people off your dance floor because of their attitude. And maybe the Benjamin Franklin effect is a strategy you can use to be able to engage those Negative Nellies, pull them back onto the dance floor in a positive way that creates that culture of connection and hopefully by the end of it, who knows, maybe they turn around and do another favor for you and you two become best friends until death. Try it out. Let me know how it works for you. My name is Tom. I'm here to help you and engage the people on your dance floor within your community. Until the next video.
