something a little different

After a holiday break, it's time to get posting again ;-) I found this article while browsing through my new content alerts for CIO magazine. While it is not directly related to the main topics I normally talk about, it is an interesting thought piece on how we can improve our organizations by being more appreciative at work. In many work environments, we have no problem expressing displeasure or talking about everything that's wrong, but in the end that really isn't very productive if we want to work in a place that we enjoy. Whether we feel inhibited by organizational norms or personal issues about what is appropriate behavior in the workplace, we'd all probably be better off if we just said "Thanks" more often.
