What Great Bosses Know about Why a Paycheck Isn’t a ”Thank You”

Do you work for a boss who thinks people should be thanked only if they do something above and beyond the call of duty at work? It's the kind of boss who says or believes "Your paycheck is your thanks." In this podcast, the Poynter Institute's leadership and management expert Jill Geisler challenges that notion, explaining why and how even less-than-perfect employees benefit from hearing a thank-you from the boss, when done right. She also shares whether thanks is better delivered in public or in private. You can read Jill's companion column on Poynter.org.
