Arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way. - Dale Carnegie
For most women, the last bit of applause they received was when they graduated from high school or college.
Frankly, I think it means more for a woman to be recognized by her peers onstage than to receive an expensive present in the mail that nobody knows about!
God didn't have time to make a nobody, only a somebody. I believe that each of us has God-given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition.
Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.

I believe every person has the ability to achieve something important, and with that in mind I regard everyone as special.
I don't think a manager can work with a person day in and day out and not develop some sort of personal relationship. Of course, you must use discretion at all times and never pry.
I don't think it's ever appropriate for a manager to criticize an individual. Not that criticism should never be given; there are times when a manager must communicate dissatisfaction.

It's interesting to note how some people discount praise. In fact, one of our own male executives frequently says, 'Praise is great, but I don't personally need it.'

It's possible that some women have a more difficult time handling criticism than do men. Some just take criticism more personally.
