Student Leadership
TIP #7 Share Compliments
A participant in one of my seminars that I give for college
groups called “College to Career Jumpstart” told me he doesn’t
like to get compliments, and told his boss where he had a summer intern
job not to bother because they aren’t necessary.
Wrong attitude. Always graciously accept a compliment.
Especially troublesome in this particular example is that this
man was part of a team of 12 people who accomplished the task he was
being complimented for. So the compliment wasn’t just for him, it was
also for his team!
Allow people to say nice things about your work any time they
want. Just make sure your share that compliment and say something like
“Thank you! The team put a lot of thought into it. I will be sure to
pass your comments on to them.”
Not only is that the gracious thing to do, it’s what a true
leader would do.
This takes away nothing from you, by the way. The average person
knows that it’s because of your leadership that the team was able to
reach such stellar results in the first place.
