Employee Motivation En Passant
Succeed with small and simple gestures leadership is not – as is – unfortunately again claimed an art, one must first learn the implementation of behaviors of daily life but in many cases. An example is the use of the words “Please” and “Thank you how” I motivate my employees and employees? The clarification of this issue is done in countless seminars and counselors. Michael Chabon may find it difficult to be quoted properly. This is but too rarely talked about the simplest basics of motivation and written, such as using the words “Please” and “Thank you”. Once carefully following the communication in companies, hospitals and doctor’s offices, is that these Freundlichkeits formulas are as good as not used. “‘ You send me ‘ times the documents!”, “Get the blood pressure measuring device”.”or”Mr W. call”. Shorten the communication on the objectively necessary working pressure and lack of time, the motivatorisch required remains on track. But why? A “Please” or “Thank you” to pronounce takes a little time, but has far-reaching consequences for the employee motivation: such behavior is courteous and sets the minimum standard for a respectful dealings with each other, it is friendly and positively promotes the internal climate, the so-spoken person receives a short personal appreciation and recognition of their work. Also, the addition of “Please” in an E-Mail request or an E-mail of thanks achieves the same effect upon receipt of the requested information or documents. Respect, kindness and recognition by two simple words: it couldn’t be simpler. Thank you for your interest! Kkaus-Dieter Thill / IFABS
