Our efforts in introducing the 5 languages of appreciation to leaders and colleagues have either been met with a lukewarm response or started out well, but fizzled before getting off the ground (partly due to all of the challenges the COVID pandemic has created).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I would encourage you: Take heart! Steps can be taken to get you \u2018unstuck.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember: People Have Limited Time and Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me remind you of a basic rule in life: <em>we all have limited time and energy<\/em>. As a result, we have to prioritize where we are going to invest these resources. Our first priority, both individually and organizationally, is survival. If we don\u2019t survive, nothing else matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the current circumstances, overcoming challenges (either short-term or long-term) is not a given. So, sharing information and resources that help us stay afloat is welcomed by many. Reducing your team members\u2019 concerns about getting past obstacles can motivate them to consider what you have to offer. Consider these facts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>in the \u2018Great Resignation\u2019 it has been demonstrated that the majority of employees who resign do not leave to earn more money but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-01-11\/what-s-driving-the-great-resignation-toxic-culture-is-a-bigger-driver-than-pay#:~:text=Toxic%20Workplace%20Culture%20Is%20a,compensation%2C%20a%20new%20study%20finds\">to escape a toxic work environment<\/a>;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>we have found that those individuals who stay personally connected with their colleagues fare better in managing the stress of remote work than those who are isolated; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/hope-resilience\/202005\/how-manage-stress-newly-remote-employee\">How to Manage Stress as a Newly Remote Employee, Psychology Today<\/a>;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>team members\u2019 resilience to stress is increased when they are part of a supportive team; <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/articles\/compliance\/how-training-focused-on-connectedness-improves-talent-retention\/\">Training Industry<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emeraldinsight.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1108\/SHR-11-2015-0090\">training of employees in using the 5 languages of appreciation<\/a> has been shown to be effective in increasing their sense of being appreciated and feeling valued.<strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Steps to Take<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some commonly accepted principles among successful leaders include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"a\"><li><em>Make sure you understand the \u2018why.\u2019<\/em> Helping others see the end-goal will make you more successful in getting them to engage from the beginning.<\/li><li><em>Don\u2019t waste time and energy recreating the wheel.<\/em> Use available resources whenever possible.<\/li><li><em>Delegate whenever possible and appropriate. <\/em>Let others participate and do what they can.
