Everyone is eager to be appreciated, whether it is a person in a high position or a person in a humble position. Whether it is a young man who has just entered the company and is motivated, or an old man who is about to retire with no hope of promotion. Even a person with a straight face every day, when praising him, his facial muscles are relaxed, because people generally accept the person who praises him.
Knowing the great power of praise, as a manager, you don't have to spare praise, but you might as well praise employees naturally and generously. As long as they are found to be outstanding in their work, they should immediately lose no time to give praise, not necessarily an earth-shattering event.
For example, the reports and documents drafted by the secretary are very handsome and beautiful, which can praise her ingenuity. Seeing that the lathe tool grinded by the lathe master is very sharp, you can praise his superior skills. Seeing the boiler worker picking up cinders can praise his diligence and diligence.
Employees who give critical opinions can praise their sense of responsibility to the unit even if they give incorrect comments. If you pay attention, you will find many advantages of people, which are worthy of praise.
The leaders of Forbes, a famous American financial magazine, deeply understand the secret of praise, so they always use the weapon of praise in time. Bruce Forbes is a very attractive person. He has a lot of contacts with employees, and everyone has a very good impression on him.
When giving Christmas bonuses, in order to avoid giving people the impression of giving alms, he would go to everyone's desk, not even the staff in the mail room, then hold their hands and sincerely say, "Without you, the magazine can't go on."
This sentence makes everyone feel warm in their hearts, giving birth to a sense of professionalism and responsibility.
Jean Makoun Forbes also knows this well and uses it more skillfully. On one occasion, the contracted printer of IAI Weekly gave Jean Makoun Forbes a bottle of champagne, congratulating the subscribers of this publication over 25,000. Jean Makoun Forbes immediately sent someone to give the bottle of champagne to Ray Gavner, and attached a note to it saying, "This is your credit."
At that time, IAI Weekly regained its glory under the adjustment of Ray Gavner. After receiving this unexpected gift, Ray Gavner will naturally redouble his efforts.
The reason why Forbes leaders don't spare praise is that they know that only the harmonious relationship between managers and employees can increase the positive energy of enterprise organization. As Bertie Forbes, the founder of Forbes, mentioned, he will never spare praise to those who deserve praise, because "once the average person is praised, even if he is not so good, he will try his best to do it well".
Some employees often fawn on leaders and take it for granted, but it is a bit unacceptable for leaders to "kiss up" to employees. In fact, for the purpose of doing a good job in the unit, it is reasonable for managers to flatter employees.
Most people love to hear compliments, so smart managers might as well be generous, don't miss every opportunity, and praise employees more! "This opinion is good, just do it!" "Great, you gave me a good way", so he will work harder for you next time.
