High Five

The positive benefits of acknowledging others and showing appreciation are huge and is something any of us can do regardless if we're in a leadership role or not.

It truly is one of the most important things a leader can do to inspire, motivate and empower others so long as its done so genuinely.



Former NBAer, Doug Christie once shared a story with me from his playing days in Toronto. It was during a timeout when his team mate, Damon Stoudamire publicly acknowledged the job he was doing on defence against a opposing player.

He went on further to describe the importance of this in helping to maintain a positive atmosphere and strengthen team cohesion.

To help further the discussion of acknowledgement is Mike Robbins. Mike is a professional speaker and author and talks to audiences about the importance of appreciation and recognizing the actions of others.



Here's what Mike said about appreciation and leadership.
