Recognition…have it your way (post by Kirk Weisler)
Do you recognize people the way you would like to be recognized? Or do you recognize people the way they would like to be recognized?
Some people like to take the golden rule, say it doesn’t go far enough and spin it as the platinum rule by suggesting that treating people the way “we” would like toe treated doesn’t consider the other persons wants. I think the Golden Rule – Treating others as I would like to be treated… more than covers it. If, in fact, we take into account that others like to be treated in a way that helps them to feel known individually and cared about genuinely.
Do you treat others the way you would like to be treated or they way they would like to be treated?
It may be time to stop just doing a good job with recognition and start doing a great job in recognizing the members of our teams who do so much to help delight the clients, accomplish the mission and make more positive the culture.
