The topic at lunch today was about how few of us ever get—or give—positive reinforcement to the folks that we work for or with. A new study came out this morning from a radio consulting firm, saying that 90% of the working force in America says they haven’t gotten any positive feedback on the job for at least a year. 90%. That’s just about everyone. So at lunch, we sat around and tried to remember the last time someone said anything nice about our work performance. Wow....it’s been a long time. And then the discussion turned to how many times we had said something positive to the folks that worked with or for us. Hmmmm. Ouch. We all immediately resolved to go back to work and give out some well-deserved praise.
