Mark your calendars, because January 24 is National Compliment Day! Now before you run around tossing generic "you're awesome" comments, let's talk about effective compliments. Research shows that people feel uncomfortable receiving direct praise at work. So, this year, try complimenting what someone does instead of who they are.
Imagine overhearing this at the office: "Did you hear? James absolutely killed that presentation yesterday. Their slides were so clear and engaging. I learned so much!" Now that's what we call positive gossip - intentionally spreading examples of great work. It's way more fun and meaningful than a basic "good job!"
