Yesterday, I published a post about the new book, Burnout Immunity, by Dr. Kandi Wiens.
In the book, she explains that employees who work at organizations led by servant leaders tend to have higher job satisfaction, higher engagement, and higher psychological well-being. Those employees also tend to have lower levels of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, boredom, and intent to quit. Less burnout.
As background, servant leadership places primary emphasis on the growth, freedom, health, autonomy, and overall well-being of those it serves, rather than on the leader.

Speaking about his new book, The Generous Leader, author Joe Davis says, “This book is about the ways in which you can become a generous leader to be part of something bigger than yourself.”
He adds that the old model for a leader – a top-down, unilateral, single-focus boss, isn’t effective in today’s workplace. “That old model no longer attracts talent, invites collaboration, or gets the best results from the team. That leader’s time is passed. Today, there is a need for a more human-centered, bighearted, authentic way to lead,” adds Davis.

Years ago, Entrepreneur magazine offered these timeless and valuable tips on how to give praise:
Praise followed by criticism is not praise.
Praise followed by praise is probably a little too much praise.
Ending an expression of praise with "...and stuff" nullifies the praise.
And,
Make it timely. The closer the recognition is to the behavior, the more likely the behavior will be repeated.
Be sincere. Be impromptu.
Remember, a handwritten note is worth more than a gift card.
Having trouble writing your handwritten note of praise? Try this template to ge ..read more
