Employees need our daily guidance, teaching moments, and words of encouragement.
It will cost us something to make deposits that will have a long-lasting impact on those who depend on and look up to us.
It will cost us our time, energy, and moments of frustration. Nevertheless, it will cost us something.
Here are several deposits you can make daily to those under your care:
1. Time. This one is obvious, and you heard it a million times. You can't build relationships with those around you without spending time with them. And while you build relationships, you get to know people more intimately.
2. Encouragement. Give your spouse, children, employees, or friend a word of encouragement. It can be a "job well done" to your employee. Or to your child, "What a great drawing." Or "That outfit looks great on you" to your spouse. Whatever words of encouragement you have, let them be heard to have a full impact.
3. Teach. Life is about learning something new every day. If you have children, I guarantee things are yet to be discovered. Train up your child. Take them to the library or the zoo. I guarantee they will learn something new.
Question: Are you willing to pay the cost and make daily deposits?
