  1. Saying thank you at work Why, how, & when

  2. PART ONE The Preamble

  3. When it comes to corporate recognition programs…

  4. There are 3 types of employees in the wild

  5. 10% of you love corporate recognition, and recognize often

  6. 80% are cool with the idea and recognize occasionally (when you have a moment between fire drills)

  7. 10% of you think that it is a bunch of sappy, Dilbert-office cr@p

  8. Without wanting to bore the 90%...

  9. I want to quickly address the 10% of you who personally, sometimes secretly, hate office recognition

  10. If you’re in that group

  11. If you’re really sceptical about all this

  12. appreciate that while you may not personally be motivated by, or comfortable with, giving and receiving recognition….

  13. It works for others around you

  14. It’s scientifically proven (see Robert Cialdani’s book Influence)

  15. whether recognition works for you, is not the point

  16. the point is that recognition is a tool

  17. that you use to manage types of people other than yourself

  18. up, down, and across

  19. so to be effective

  20. at managing many types of people

  21. you need to learn how to use the tool effectively
