as I was saying...


Don't get me wrong. Doers are good. There's a place for them. Many of us naturally reward doers; they roll up their sleeves and make things happen. In a culture that values activity, these are the people who get promoted and praised. Whereas in a culture of people development, those who get rewarded are not the ones who "do things" but those who "empower other people to do things." They see it as their role to equipe others. --Foreman, Jones, and Miller.

Speaking of rewarding, it's so important to reward good work. This could be as simple as a "thank you." When people are motivated and encouraged they're more likely to do good work, and be less likely to look for work elsewhere.

All of us desprately need people to believe in us. What's keeping you from encouraging those who work for you? It's amazing how far so little can go.
