How to Appreciate People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An important part of getting along with others<\/a> is consistently showing that you appreciate and respect them<\/strong>. This makes people feel good about themselves, which they\u2019ll associate with being around you. Reklau offers three-part advice on how to appreciate people and show them respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In Carrots and Sticks Don\u2019t Work<\/em><\/a>, psychologist Paul Marciano talks more about the benefits of appreciation and respect in the context of a workplace. He explains that when people feel appreciated and respected, they\u2019re more likely to engage enthusiastically with their work<\/a>\u2014increasing their productivity and morale. This is because when an employee\u2019s work and ideas are appreciated and respected, they feel a greater sense of fulfillment doing their job. This sense of fulfillment makes them want <\/em>to work harder and go the extra mile.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Give Compliments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first method Reklau describes is offering honest and specific compliments<\/strong>. When a compliment feels honest, people will take your appreciation more seriously. When a compliment is specific, it makes people feel like you respected them enough to pay close attention to them. If you\u2019re not sure what to specifically compliment someone about, Reklau suggests telling people what they want to hear. For example, if someone is worried they\u2019ll come across as boring during a work presentation, compliment them afterward on how passionate they were. This will make them feel good about themselves and give them a reason to want to be around you more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: While complimenting people is a great way to make them feel good, psychologists argue that there is such a thing as too many compliments<\/a>. They explain that when you constantly compliment someone, your comments will start to come across as less sincere. In addition, people can come to expect these frequent compliments and worry they\u2019re doing something wrong when you stop. To avoid this, try to space out your compliments and put thought and effort into them so they particularly resonate and leave people wanting more.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Actively Listen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Second, Reklau says you should carefully and actively listen to others<\/strong>. This shows people that you appreciate and respect their input and what they have to say. Active listening requires you to give your conversation partner your full attention. Look at them while they speak and don\u2019t think about other things\u2014mentally rehearsing what you\u2019ll say next, for instance. You should also show you\u2019re engaged by leaning forward and nodding, agreeing, or asking questions when appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Journalist Kate Murphy (You\u2019re Not Listening<\/em><\/a>) explains that while verbal affirmations<\/a> can help signal active listening, you should also allow pauses in the conversation when appropriate<\/a>. She says that people often pause to consider how they want to elaborate on an idea or rephrase what they\u2019ve just said. So if you immediately start talking after they stop, you\u2019ll cut them off and learn less about what they were thinking than you would\u2019ve otherwise. Quickly cutting someone off can also signal that you don\u2019t care enough about their idea to wait.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Support Words With Actions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Reklau says you should also back up what you say with actions<\/strong>. If you tell people you appreciate and respect them but don\u2019t act like it, people will start to take you less seriously. But if you back up what you say, people will trust you more and therefore appreciate you and your company more. Supporting words with actions can be as simple as not being late\u2014showing you respect the other person\u2019s time\u2014or sticking to your word and following through on promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Mental health experts note that supporting words with actions is particularly important when you apologize to someone<\/a>. For your apology to come across as sincere, you have to show that you mean what you\u2019re saying\u2014and actions are excellent for this. Experts recommend you back up your verbal apologies with attempts to make amends, like replacing something you broke or figuring out a way to ensure you won\u2019t hurt the other person again.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
