An Affirming Boss
Affirming people through thoughtful handwritten communication is such a powerful and effective tool for relating to one another. I once had a boss who kept a stack of note cards in his desk and regularly wrote notes to thank his employees. The one I received motivated me to do the same for those who reported to me. The impact was huge. It was far greater than if I had sent them an email with the same words.
"Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return." Ralph Marston
