Yes they would if the organization focused merely on recognizing only the cream. In fact, I think such awards are merely a stimulus for people to try and emulate such performances. But I keep telling our managers that appreciation is a daily affair that will pay rich dividends. Never wait to accumulate it thinking that you can deliver it all in one go. Unfortunately it depreciates over time and loses significance if not delivered now.<\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p><strong>So I take this opportunity to thank all our staff who did a splendid job last quarter in helping their clients gain better control of their time. In my opinion, each such person is an award winner. Give credit where it is due and you will notice how well people accept criticism, as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p>Sunder P<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><br \/>\nCEO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;\u201cAppreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well\u201d &#8211; Voltaire (French philosopher).
