A leading environmental services company, for example, provided seven emerging leaders this past year with the opportunity to focus on a development plan through the assistance of a personal coach. The appreciation program was so successful in 2011, that the company is now offering seven new emerging leaders the opportunity to for coaching and development in 2012.
Each of these appreciation actions cost a company very little money. The key is using the right action with the right person, at the right time and with a genuine spirit of appreciation.
It all adds up to Management By Appreciation – a new “MBA” for Talent Management.
