PMO Leadership: The power of acknowledgement

In this nice little book, the author provides seven principles of Acknowledgement that can be used by just about anyone in any setting, including of course, project management.

• #1 - The world is full of people who deserve to be acknowledged.
  
• #2 - Acknowledgement builds intimacy and creates powerful interactions.
  
• #3 - Acknowledgment neutralizes, defuses, deactivates and reduces the effect of jealousy and envy!
  
• #4 - Recognizing good work leads to high energy, great feelings, high-quality performance and terrific results.
• #5 - Truthful, heartfelt and deserved acknowledgment always makes a difference, sometimes a profound one, in a person’s life and work.
  
• #6 - It is likely that acknowledgment can improve the emotional and physical health of both the giver and the receiver.
  
• And #7 - Practice different ways of getting through to the people you want to acknowledge.
