I just finished teaching a leadership development course. One of the topics is “appreciation,” and the participants are encouraged to send little notes of appreciation to their teams, never assuming that the team “already knows.” A little bit goes a long way!
At the end of the course, the participants handed ME a note. That they’d all signed and put little words of encouragement in. The double-whammy of both being appreciated AND feeling like my words sunk in has me feeling very, very lucky.
See? It works!
