At work and in our professional lives, we need as many managers and\u00a0professionals as possible, who appreciate masterfully and are thus a tower of\u00a0strength. Not only for themselves, but also for the people around them. Then,\u00a0together with the people around them, they build and maintain a strong culture\u00a0of appreciation. Because if that succeeds in your company, or school, or<br \/>\nhospital, or ministry, or municipality, or club, or church, or whatever, then a\u00a0healthy, self-confident, innovative and inspiring organization will emerge. An\u00a0organisation that is able to meet all the challenges of the VUCA world. An\u00a0organization that built its house on the rock. An organisation that stands\u00a0strong as the waves of change wash over it. An organisation that has the\u00a0courage, dignity and resilience to keep reinventing itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. A culture of appreciation<\/strong><br \/>\nThree years ago, together with a hundred leading physicians and managers\u00a0from a holding company of a healthcare institution comprised of five hospitals,\u00a0I worked on their expectation management. The expectations between\u00a0managers and directors, between managers among themselves, between\u00a0managers and their employees, the expectations between all employees and\u00a0their many thousands of patients were mapped out. What did it turn out to be?<\/p>\n<p>You guessed it: at all levels, appreciation was most expected of each other.\u00a0That is what they needed most!\u00a0Fred Lee made a similar discovery when he was doing research for his book:\u00a0<em>If Disney ran your hospital, 9 1\/2 things you would do differently<\/em>. Lee also saw<br \/>\nhow especially these three themes are of great importance each time:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sincere empathy<\/li>\n<li>Sincere appreciation<\/li>\n<li>Being inspired<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>2. Valuing colleagues<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2018<em>Treat your employees the way you want them to treat your customers.\u2019<\/em> \u2013\u00a0South West Airlines<\/p>\n<p>You build a culture of appreciation gradually, conversation by conversation.\u00a0Day in and day out. It simply starts at the level of appreciating your\u00a0colleagues. The implementation of a culture of appreciation contributes\u00a0enormously to a positive working atmosphere. It causes people to love to\u00a0come to work. This makes the organisation itself even more valuable.<\/p>\n<p>Through a culture of appreciation, the fear of each other, and of the \u2018boss\u2019,\u00a0disappears. You do not have to prove yourself all the time and you can just\u00a0focus on your work. After all, you know that everyone has the best interests of\u00a0the other person at heart. This is particularly evident when managers take the\u00a0lead in this. In the end, such a culture of appreciation creates a strengthening,\u00a0positive spiral effect of appreciation.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:5px;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98\" src=\"https:\/\/xpand.eu\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98-1024x576.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xpand.one\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/xpand.one\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/xpand.one\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98-700x394.png 700w, https:\/\/xpand.one\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/xpand.one\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/xpand.one\/sa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/7A8731D3-A9B8-4B0C-AE90-BF0F75CA7C98.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><strong>3.
