My previous article introduced the concept of five different "languages" of appreciation. "Part 2 of Expressing Appreciation to Your Team Members" describes a method for learning more about your strongest and least strong "language of appreciation."
I hope that the other members of your team are blessed significantly by your enhanced awareness and utilization of this information! Dennis Do you feel valued and appreciated at work? Would you like to make sure you do an admirable job of expressing appreciation for the work of your direct reports?
Take a look at "Expressing Appreciation to Your Team Members--Part 1" to gain an awareness that you could likely be more effective in expressing your support and encouragement. Then read "Part 2" to see how to put your intentions into action! Dennis As you read “A Great Feedback Question: How Can I Do Better?” think about how you can seek feedback from colleagues in a playful, fun way.
Enjoy engaging with the people from whom you seek feedback. Think of them as your play partners rather than drudgerous workmates. Go out and seek feedback on your behavior because you CHOOSE to---because you want to learn how you can PLAY BETTER! Dennis |
