Are You Saying Thank You?
We get caught-up and jump from one thing to the next and often forget to acknowledge and recognize the efforts others have to go through.
When do say thank you? When it's deserved. Only say thank you when you mean it, if it's not sincere your being dishonest to the person your saying thank you to and to yourself. No good comes of this. Should I say thank you in public or in private? It depends. If the person receiving the thank you needs to be publicly recognized for their efforts then go public. In person, phone, or in writing? It depends. In person is the best way and meaning isn't lost, phone second but not if your in the same building! If the thank you message is to be shared with others email works well, if it's personal a short thank you note will do great (keep some simple thank you notes on hand). Should I just say thank you? Yes! Note the action you are thanking them for, give your thanks, and move on. When giving something never expect anything in return. We expect people to do their jobs and complete the tasks we assigned them but people like to be acknowledged for the work they do. A thank you goes a long way.
