Well, as someone who congratulated did a good job?

And when you do your work and what happens? I would venture to say that in most cases, nothing happens.

Many times the concentration is so focused on highlighting the negative aspects and behaviors, we tend to forget to emphasize the positive that we did. In fact, in many organizations, only know that the work was well done because nothing happened ... (The purpose of this topic, visit the Browserd and read the story " Performance Evaluation ", which is quite informative).

But back to topic, the book " Good Work - The Power of Positive Relationships "(Original title" Whale Done - The Power of Positive Relationships "and edited in Portugal by publisher Scroll ), the acclaimed author Ken Blanchard , and also has the participation of Thad Lacinak, Chuck Tompkins and Jim Ballard, addresses this issue very well, so for me it is required reading.

Briefly, these authors believe that the power of positive relationship is closely linked to productivity at work and welfare in the household (yes, we can also apply this strategy to our private life).

Based on visits to SeaWorld Ocenário , specifically with the spectacle of Schamu , the Orca, this book tells the story of Wes Kingsley, who during a business trip to Orlando to attend a conference, a leisure decides to visit the famous Oceanarium.

In a moment of relaxation Wes Kingsley to start taking notes in order to apply to your professional life was a small step.

... "What is your secret? How is it that forces these animals to do these tricks "...

These Orcas (Orca is one of the most feared predators of the oceans), with a size of generous dimensions and several tons of weight, do a show that leaves the entire audience captivated, but for this to happen, a workout is done based on power of positive relationship, ie, the first gain confidence, then highlight the positive aspects and finally, in case of error, redirect the energy.

If we think only a show of Orcas, it seems a distant issue of our day to day and that can help us at all, but this book chapter by chapter will demystify the prejudices that may exist and in the end, we realized that a quite simple and within everyone's reach, we can really make a difference and achieve a good job, through the Power of Positive Relationships.

... "Throughout this book, Wes is an emotional and professional journey, overcoming relationship difficulties that will surely be familiar to the reader. He learns that highlight the positive aspects of the behavior of others is the best way to build trust and respect of any relationship.

At the same time, he discovers that criticism can be a vicious circle - the more emphasis is given to an undesirable behavior, the more it is repeated - and that praise can create a "virtuous circle" - to highlight the positive behavior, people will tend to adopt it and make it a habit. "...

And you, have already congratulated some good work today?
