FREE online courses on CRM - Developing People-The Key To Success - Take
Them Higher
- Give Credit
We all remember the pains we took over
reports, draft letters, sales reviews for the Boss…. only to have them disappear
into the abyss! Such bosses would have gone further had they given credit for
their juniors' efforts/ achievements. It is
heartbreaking to lose credit which is rightfully yours.. so take care, now that
you have subordinates of your own!
A smile and a “Thanks!” can do wonders for morale.
Recognition, for which an employee
has so assiduously worked, must be forthcoming. Expectation of
receiving it is nothing to be ashamed about … in fact, its enlightened behavior!
Moreover, tell
everyone, about the progress Young so-and-so is making. He'll get to know of it,
and you'll be known as a boss who gives credit to staff, a fact management will
record. The spin-off: others in your office will be in friendly competition for
the next ‘stroke' Credit should go to all staff, however lowly their
status at office… joint
effort produces winning teams.
