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.

That’s how we do it. Isn’t it? We develop relationships. No one charts their course alone. The other day, I had a meeting with a potential new colleague. We had met back in June at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store (of all places). We struck up a conversation and found a lot in…
