Over a decade in the past, I keep in mind studying a narrative that caught with me. I feel it was linked to the well-known Harvard Research on Grownup Improvement that studied a gaggle of males throughout their lifetimes, however I can now not discover the reference. A much-beloved physician, upon his retirement, was given a pocket book full of letters of reward and appreciation from his sufferers. After he obtained it, he put it up in his attic, and by no means opened it or learn the letters.
I’ve usually considered this story since I first heard it, questioning about what motivated the physician’s conduct, and the bigger query of why reward is usually welcomed and makes us really feel good, however can even make folks really feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.
In immediately’s episode, I take a stab at answering this query with Christopher Littlefield, a speaker and guide who focuses on worker appreciation. However first, we discuss in regards to the energy of recognition, why we will be so stingy in giving compliments, how compliments can go mistaken, and the way we will supply them extra successfully. We then flip to why getting compliments could make you cringe, how folks deflect them and the way this deflection impacts relationships, and get higher at receiving compliments graciously.
