Tips for giving praise and compliment

Be sincere.　　Don’t say it if you don’t mean it.People see right through flattery.

Be specific.　　It’s nice to say“Well done”，but it’s much more effective to explain exactly what part of the job was well done.

Don’t delay.　　Say it when you think of it—or the opportunity may be lost for good.

Do it in public.　　Praising people in front of others adds to the impact.

Put it in writing.　　Thank You cards or encouraging notes can be looked at often，and kept forever.
