PART B_2

Last summer, we saw a boy building a sandcastle at the beach. He approached his task seriously and worked hard gathering sand. After about half an hour, he had a large heap of it and began patting it into a low building with great effort.

He went to his father once satisfied with the results. “Charlie, you’ve made a great castle. I think it’s the best on the beach,” his dad praised him. His father’s compliment made him the happiest boy in the world, and it reminded us of the power of praise. Sadly, adults receive so little.

We thought back to a story our friend Marty had shared with us. Marty is a management consultant hired by a start-up Internet company. The people were too busy and stressed out, causing many disputes among them.

One of the key members of the technical staff, Toni, had been working for 14 hours a day, seven days a week. She had told Marty that she had received several job offers and was tempted to take one. Marty then asked if he could do anything to keep her in the company.
