Ah, transparency. An already old and tired buzzword that has fallen out of favor. It''s so 3rd quarter of 2012! Who uses that term anymore? Some companies I''m aware of still embrace transparency as part of their honor, integrity, and yes.use it as a buzzword to justify fees and other expenses. These costs are okay because we didn''t try to hide them! We''re transparent! Whatever. Buzzwords Start For A Reason I look at catch phrases or terms, like transparency, from a different perspective. That''s a shame. Be open. Be honest. Share what you can as soon as possible. That''s good stuff.

I watched "Zombieland" for the the first time about a month ago, and have to say I thought it was pretty good. But there's another kind of zombie that should scare everyone -- a zombie employee. Read why in this latest story I did for Gannett/USA Today. In the 1968 movie, "Night of the Living Dead," Johnny teased Barbara, "They’re coming to get you!" You don’t want to become invisible," she says.

On a railway platform, as in life, everyone is on the move; hurrying to reach their destinations. While I was waiting there, I saw her coming out of the train that had just arrived. Her wrinkled and exhausted face wore a worried look. Her back was bent with a lumbar belt wrapped around it. Getting through the hurried platform with a bag that she could hardly pick up seemed difficult. immediately approached her, lifted her bag and helped her out till she got a taxi. When she smiled and thanked, gratitude was visible. I did something good that day! - – – – -. In 100 Words Self Growth

[Note: This post is a continuation of thoughts from my earlier post “ Building Engaged Teams with Power of Appreciation ”]. Yes, appreciation is the fuel that drives people forward and leaders need to learn the art of genuinely appreciating the behaviors they value.

The challenge in creating a culture of appreciation is to ensure that people don’t just do things for the sake of being appreciated. Appreciation is a by-product.
