Change”1 Acknowledgment” And You Can Change It All!

Have you told someone “Thank You!” lately?

Many of the managers I work with tell me “Oh, everyone knows how much their work is appreciated.”

I’ll let you in on a secret: They don’t.

When was the last time you personally felt acknowledged? I bet you can tell me the time and the place, who said it, AND tell me how good and motivated it made you feel.

Now ask yourself:

“When was the last time I told each of these people how much
I appreciate their efforts and the results it creates?

Make a list of the people who help you create your results - staff, vendors, people in other areas of the business. Now write down 1 thing they each do that makes it all work.

Grab your phone, grab a pen, or grab your keyboard and spend the 27 seconds it will take you to let them know. And put it on your calendar to do it again next month.
