Stop. Think. Compliment

Ennuin July 2008

Today someone took the time to tell me what a good job I was doing. And that person is someone I manage.

I felt really good.

No. REALLY good.

The lesson was learned.

It’s not enough to give positive feedback down the chain – it’s important to also send it up the chain.

Yes is feels brown-nosy and sucky, but in a world where you usually only hear from people when something is going pear-shaped (and I’m not talking about my figure), the smallest drop of kindness stands out.
Often it’s more difficult pfizer viagra discount for women to find good female friends.

But doesn’t it feel awkward?!

Finding a moment to stop and tell your boss that you appreciate what they do and how they lead is not easy… it’s uncomfortable. It’s not “the Australian way”.

The thing to do I’ve discovered is to hold on to that good feeling you get when you’re complimented and push it outwards… with your courage.

It might make their day.

It made mine.

  1. I hear you.

    I guess what I’m saying is that we all need to upwardly manage to some degree to make work more fun, more bearable. 🙂

    And, with due respect to my bosses, it’s a bit like managing a child. You reward the behaviour you want to be repeated.

    The other thing to remember is that the higher someone goes, the more lonely it is… the saying “it’s lonely at the top” is true and mostly when someone says they want 5 minutes of your time to a boss it’s to complain about something or someone.

    Positive feedback stands out.

    It’s just something to consider.

  2. It can sometimes be so easy to forget to comment on the positives. I made a special effort to talk to the principal this year and say what a great year my kids were having. One of them had a very ordinary year last year and I expressed by dissatisfaction at that. The principal expressed her gratitude at the positive feedback and said that it was very rare to receive.
