[ Acknowledge ]
It doesn’t take much to acknowledge someone or something. I really miss getting on the bus via the front door: in Brisbane during the pandemic, we’ve been getting on the bus via the back door, which means it’s not easy or natural to say hello to the driver. Just the acknowledgement and eye contact: I see you. I’ve gotten used to calling out “good morning” on arrival and “thank you” on departure. The acknowledgement is important.
It’s the same with work deliverables, work well done, work mates, service providers, and passers-by: any acknowledgement will do. And it’s simple and free.
