Hi Gerry
Thanks – glad you found it useful. Wow – what an ‘interesting’ response from that Director! I can just imagine how motivated that made you feel. And it would have been so easy for her to have a) positively acknowleged your high performance and agreed with you how that could have been rewarded e.g more interesting projects, time for development, more time for the work you found most satisfying b) worked with you to analyse how you achieved such a high performance thereby allowing her (or you) to coach / train and support your colleagues in achieveing the same .They too (and the business) could then reap the rewards. What a lost opportunity for a win / win / win! Very best wishes. Joan

Hi Joan,

The tips on giving praise are really good. I’d never thought about it like this before so will follow your advice.

Re giving praise in public, this reminded me that I once had a director who complained that my high level of performance was intimidating to other staff. Obviously she wouldn’t agree that giving praise in public would motivate others then – so I guess you just need to play it safe like you say.

All the best,
G

Hi Peter
Glad you found it useful and thanks.

Me too (and who doesn’t enjoy giving advice?) so I do find the ‘shut up, shut up, shut up – oh go on then if you must’ model invaluable

The trick is remembering to use it!
Best wishes
Joan
