When “Thanks” Isn’t Enough

When teams are tired, stretched, or recovering from conflict, it’s easy for people to feel invisible. A quick “thanks” in a meeting helps for a moment, then fades. If recognition at your workplace feels forced, inconsistent, or just not enough, you’re not alone, and there’s a better way to do it.

This book shows you how. It’s the practical, research-backed guide to communicating appreciation in the ways each person actually values, so the people on your team feel genuinely seen.
