How to Use Appreciation and Praise to Motivate People

1. Listen more than you talk. There is nothing more affirming than
the undivided attention of another.

2.Always use the first name of the person you are addressing.

3. Be polite and respectful.

4.Ask for solutions to job-related problems and then use the
suggestions given.

5.Don't give orders. Ask nicely.

6.Be positive.

7. Be generous with encouragement and affirmation. If you find it
difficult to express affirmation and encouragement face to face then
write notes of appreciation.

8. Apologize when you have been impatient, sarcastic etc. It will
happen. You're only human.

9. Always correct someone in private and never when angry.

10.Give credit; don't take credit.

11. Laugh with the people you work with.

12. Keep your people informed.

13. Be flexible.

14. Ask about their lives outside of work. Ask about their children,
hobbies etc. There is a huge difference between being interested and
prying.

15. Smile a lot.

Quick fix techniques cannot be learnt by anyone who doesn't live their lives from the "Positive" background.

Manipulation is the same as making use of the above to achieve selfish objectives.

Bottomline is, people need to feel self assured.

Me don't command them, it's not the army...

What me meant that ample motivations at correct time will have the best effect... And definitely appreciation has to be given across the board, especially when they make mistakes...

Everyone think it's always carrot and stick effect, but that's not always the case... If carrot is given too often, it will lose its attractiveness...

Use them but also with the correct management methologies... If time and need to use the spike club, use it...

firm but at the same time gaining your staffs' respects.. if too nice some of the staffs will take advantage and sh!t on our head

True...

Best way to earn their respect is to do it with them rather than talk the walk...
