TIP
#6 Put Thanks in Writing
If you’ve read my book College Success Your Way you know
Chapter 7 is about how to “Launch a Great Career While Still in
School.” You already know
how simple courtesies help you make a positive, powerful impression in
the workplace. This is a gracious action that will distinguish you with
your peers and your supervisors, both with the teams you lead in school
and in the future,
Not only can you praise people in public, you can send a thank
you note as well. How rare it is to get a thank you note these days,
especially those that come through snail mail. So few people take the
time to send these. If you do, you will be admired and respected.
Again, say exactly what you’re praising the person for and how
it helps your team.
It’s also a great idea to openly praise people in front of
others. Again, always make sure your comments are sincere and focused on
a specific action. You know another really special thing to do? Send a thank you note to this person’s parents. Your thoughtful actions will become legendary. So few people think enough to even say “thanks” anymore, much less to express their thanks in writing. ***************************************** For all 101 Tips on Student Time Management as a download you can get right now, go to Success Store While you're there, check out other downloadable
