I just came back from a long trip from Bhutan to Bintan after visiting the Middle East where I had the pleasure of delivering keynote talks and training diversified groups of amazing leaders and managers.
While presenting our IP+10S Appreciation Model, I surveyed two options: Option A – Be recognized publicly as the employee of the month/year or Option B – Your direct boss dedicates quality time to recognize your achievements in person.

How do you appreciate your employees? Do you delight them? How do you use appreciation so it can help them perform even better?
