If you're a boss, you know that every day is a challenge to do better. This tip is based on the same research I used to develop my programs and the Working Supervisor's Support Kit .

Praise effort

Sometimes there's no progress to praise, even though a team member is working hard to improve. There are tasks and assignments where it takes time before any results start to show. When that happens, praise the effort. Praise is the tool of encouragement and there's no time it's needed more than when a person is working hard, but no results show yet.

If you have a copy of the Working Supervisor's Support Kit , you'll find more on this in the chapter titled "Consequences."
