When was the last time you felt truly acknowledged?
What were you acknowledged for?
How do you know if you’re providing the acknowledgment people need from you?
If you have to interact with people in your job, this book can make a huge difference in your success. It is a step-by-step guide for redefining your business, your relationships and your life.
Acknowledgment makes things real. It’s the most creative form of language. Acknowledging who and what you trust, respect, appreciate, are interested in, and listen to doesn’t just make people feel good, it creates them and gives them their position in your social network. Truly understanding and practicing acknowledgment as described in this book gives you a sense of the power you have to shape your life. Acknowledgment is one of the most potent and effective forces in the management of social networks.
If you want more control over your life and relationships, if you want to be an agent of change, or if you just want to recognize all the acknowledgment that you’re missing, this book can transform your existence.
This is not a self-help book, a management guide or an inspirational, feel-good volume. It is a hands-on easy to follow analysis of one of the most sought after elements in the human universe, where it comes from, how to get more of it and, most importantly how to create it for yourself and your world.
This model was originally developed as an employee retention strategy where it found great success. It is the one tool that is utilized in virtually every one of the over 100 successful employee retention engagements Scott has completed.
