Have you ever wondered if your boss or company truly appreciates all of your effort?

Perhaps felt a little annoyed at the results you are delivering compared to what you are being paid?

Ever been tempted to explore the headhunter calls to see if other opportunities better give you what you need?

Chances are your team may be feeling varying degrees of this right now. I’ve never seen a stronger job market weighing in the candidate's favor so today consider how you can share just what it is that you appreciate about your team.

Here are a few ideas:

• Write it down: Send a hand written note explaining what you value about them

• Say it live: Explain in your next 1-1 what you have noticed recently about their work

• Upwardly Brag: share with your boss or your board just what you value in one of your team

One of my favorite teachers Gigi Bazar last year would sporadically send home notes about what my daughter had done brilliantly in class. It wasn’t anything official and it was noticing unique and unconventional things. But it meant a lot. Don’t be like too many other teachers who only share news when it’s a failed test or unsatisfactory work….share the little moments of brilliance too.

Your teams will appreciate you for it.

Dedicated to growing your business,

Val
