“Put your appreciation into action by taking time to show your appreciation. Tell one or more people something you appreciate about them. Remember, what you put out comes back.”

—Doc Childre and Sara Paddison, HeartMath Discovery Program

GET IT BY GIVING

We often find that the managers who most strongly resist recognition programs are those who have rarely (or never) been recognized themselves. If they could only once experience the taste of a carrot, it would change their minds. If they could feel the emotion and see the good it does for them, it would be easier for them to give that feeling to someone else.

In your corporation, are there any managers who could use a carrot? If so, be the one in your workplace to activate the power of recognition and appreciation in their lives.

Remember, recognition has to start somewhere. Why not with you?
