One of the best things you can do for people you work with is to tell them when they’ve done great.
Research shows that feeling valued motivates people to do a better job. And when they also feel like they’re an important part of the team, everyone wins.

If you haven’t heard, Sir Anthony Hopkins’ (the actor) composition, “and the waltz goes on,“ go here and take a listen. Why? Because it shows us something special.
