These phrases, originally penned by former CEO Todd Patkin for his motivational book, aren\u2019t always as straightforward as \u201cgood job\u201d or \u201ckeep it up\u201d \u2013 sometimes it takes something a little more subtle to really get through to people. Take a look:   \u201cI need your help.\u201d They\u2019ll appreciate being treated as a partner.  \u201cWhat do you need from me?\u201d An employee\u2019s hesitance to ask the boss for something could be hindering productivity. So, open up the dialogue yourself.  \u201cI noticed what you did.\u201d Recognize the little things that workers do right on a daily basis, not just the big accomplishments.  \u201cThank you.\u201d As simple as it sounds, don\u2019t overlook the impact of positive reinforcement.  \u201cHey everyone \u2013 listen to what Joe accomplished.\u201d Compliments are even better when they\u2019re shared with the team.  \u201cWhat would you like to do here?\u201d You can\u2019t always accommodate employees, but doing your best at evolving their roles as their abilities and needs change will keep them from losing interest.  \u201cI have bad news.\u201d Of course, you never want to use this one, but if employees have to hear bad news second-hand, it\u2019s going to be way worse than if you just explained the situation up-front.  \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d Employees whose opinions are sought and considered will be far more invested in the company.  \u201cThat\u2019s OK. We all make mistakes.\u201d Harsh criticism only harms self-confidence and relationships. Instead, focus on how you can avoid similar errors in the future.  \u201cI know you can do it.\u201d A little boost of confidence never hurts!  Click here for the article from Inc.com."}
