What makes you happy? People often respond: Family, Faith, and if their really blessed, Career. Let’s face it people make us happy. The relationships we have with others keep us in a happy state of mind. We start getting down when we feel like some of the relationships are being jeopardized: marriage, with a child, with a client, with a boss. Appreciation is the key to our happiness. Appreciation leads to respect. When you associates feel that what they’re doing at work means something to someone, they are happy. When you praise them for a job well done, they fill with happiness. Be careful not to just point out what someone can do better. They certainly need to know how to improve, but they also need to hear about the things your noticing them do well.
