Say the compliment out loud. I have some coworkers I really dig working with. I think that every time we do projects. So SAY it.
“I really enjoy working with you! We always get it done and it’s always super collaborative!”
Don’t just THINK the compliment. Say it. Then tell their boss.
@shanselman something like the aphorism with which I’ve grown up ( well, sorta ) since the late 80s
“A pat on the back is six* ribs higher than a kick in the pants, but 10x more effective”
* caveat - IANAD
Also, you get more with honey, than with vinegar
Critique in private, congratulate in public
Oh, and be objective
We should write a book
