Of all the words we say to people around us whom we are honoured to lead, I cannot think of two more important words than “thank you”. Nothing encourages people more than when they hear the words “thank you”. It instils a sense of self-worth, accomplishment and dignity. Now I know that people shouldn’t depend on hearing “thank you” to stay motivated, but as we do it, every now and then, you create a sense of ‘team’. I call these two words the “twin-turbo” effect. When you intentionally use them in your team, it’ll feel like you've just upgraded your output to a powerful twin-turbo one. I challenge you to go out of your way to appreciate the people in your life, your business, your church, etc. You will see how they just want to help and serve even more. Of course the biggest reason why we thank people is because it really is just about being kind and polite; creating an atmosphere of excitement and energy around you. When you do say “thank you”, think of creative ways of doing it. People appreciate it. More than you could ever imagine.
Happy leading
