Do you think the quote "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is? Treat a man as he can and should be, and he will become as he can and should be." is correct?

We may have many personalities in our lives we have to manage. Whether they are our staff, our children or even in a mentorship capacity.

How much meat is in this quote? Do you feel yourself falling into expected patterns of behaviour; simply because you were treat a certain way? Whether negatively or positively.

Who then determines how he “can” and “should be”?

Have you used this simple idea to change a person’s behaviour? If so how did it work for you?
