“The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.” – Charles Schwab

In business, and more specifically in sales, I believe that selling and communicating from a place of love, care, and respect is vital for attracting the right people to your team and creating advocates for you and your business.

There is so much information and training on leadership, yet we are losing ground regarding appreciation and encouragement for our employees. Through conversations with colleagues, friends, and my own family, I see this lack of appreciation in different organizations and in various industries.

It’s sad, but there is a better way to lead people to achieve their highest productivity levels. So, how do we accomplish this?
