Sometimes a sincere "Thank you " is the best way to express your apprectiation. Other times, a simple gesture adds power to your words. Here are examples:
Say it online. Send a note of appreciation via e-mail. Tell the recipient specifically what you appreciate and why: "Thank you for proofreading my report. You saved me from making embarassing errors."
Pick up a pen and send a handwritten thank-you note. Those pack a big motivational punch because so few people take time to write them any more. For extra impact, send it to the person's house so the family sees your appreciation too.
Dial up and say "Thanks". Connecting verbally adds warmth to your appreciation - even if you reach voice mail.
Make it official. Create a small certificate that the person can hang up in the work area. That adds staying power to your words of praise.
Pass it on. Look for an opportunity to say something nice about the person when he or she can overhear you. Let your co-workers, your boss or your customers know how much you depend on the person's contributions.
