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.
