Praise people

'You're looking damned good today, CJ.'

'Great idea you had for the frozen fish client, Susan.'

'I'm so glad you're part of this meeting, Brian. You always make meetings come alive.'

That's the sort of thing. Now, practise sounding like you mean it. Because unfortunately in this country, praising someone else tends to sound like you're really a born-again Canadian who's won the Lottery and spent all the money going on motivational courses.

But it's worth persevering, because it makes everybody work better and it makes the workplace a whole lot happier.

For instance, I told the person who came up with this action how much I liked it.

They said how much they appreciated my views.

We both felt a little more grrrrrrr than we had before.

Take action
If you like the action, why not give it a go? We don't want you to spend hours trying to find out how to get started on each action, so we've got some ideas here.
