“I chose you because you are the best anyway! Don’t be afraid to take action; just go for it. I believe you’ll do better than anyone else! ” These were the words of a pragmatic business leader, and they planted a seed in the heart of a young person who had just started working there. Even ten years later, when she had become the company’s vice president, she still chose to follow the boss who had said those words back then. She was chosen simply because of her boss’s words, and by becoming the vice president she gradually understood why her boss had said those things in the first place. A supervisor’s encouragement can give a person immense confidence, enabling them to succeed in whatever they do ； On the contrary, a supervisor’s criticism is what most easily destroys a person’s ambition. So later, the boss said to her, “Everyone is the greatest miracle of nature; they all have their own strengths. Encouragement and praise are the best ways to bring out those strengths, and they are also the simplest ways to help them succeed. Why not do it?” ” An employee of oil magnate Rockefeller made a mistake in making decisions regarding a deal in South America, which resulted in the company losing $1 million. During the company meeting, instead of blaming his employee, he chose to praise and encourage him: \"Things don’t always go smoothly; there are always many difficulties and setbacks. Fortunately, you managed to retain 60% of the investment amount – that’s excellent. Don’t worry about this loss.\" ” Even when an employee makes a mistake, as a leader one still chooses to acknowledge their good qualities and give praise. Why is that? For critics, criticism is merely a way to assert their rights and thereby demonstrate their presence ； Appreciation and encouragement, on the other hand, better reflect a employee’s sense of being valued; by acknowledging what they do and showing respect for them, such encouragement will be remembered by the employees for life, motivating them to work harder in their jobs and ensuring that they never make the same mistakes again! What a wise boss thinks is that everyone I meet has, to some extent or another, strengths that surpass ours; others’ advantages are worth learning from – so where is there any room for criticism? I think this is what it means to appear foolish while being wise! It seems that many CEOs of companies on the Fortune 500 list share such traits! No matter when or where, when you encounter people with such a mindset, they may not be bosses now, but they might become ones in the future – these are the honest and upright people in business! If you meet him, stick to him!
