Listening

"To say that a person feels listened to means a lot more than just their ideas get heard. It's a sign of respect. It makes people feel valued." — Deborah Tannen Author and Professor of Linguistics Georgetown University

"Just being available and attentive is a great way to use listening as a management tool. Some employees will come in, talk for twenty minutes, and leave having solved their problems entirely by themselves.“ — Nicholas V. Luppa

Recognition

Five Top Motivating Techniques 1. The manager personally congratulates employees who do a good job. 2.The manager writes personal notes about good performance. 3. The organization uses performance as a basis for promotion. 4.The manager publicly recognizes employees for good performance. 5.The manager holds morale-building meetings to celebrate success.

The Surprising Truth about what Motivates us (Daniel Pink) 1.Autonomy – We all have a desire to be self-directed. 2.Mastery – We all have an urge to get better at a skill or talent. 3.Making a contribution – We all have a drive to do something that matters.
