Your greatest asset is the people who work for you. While bonuses for a job well done are nice, so is showing your appreciation with a few words to let your employees know that you care about their successes. But don't just say, "Hey, thanks." Go deeper. Describe how you feel about your employee's accomplishments. Show that you understand his or her growth from start to present. Here is a recent e-mail I sent to one of my most valuable employees:
Hey, For a long time I have been so happy and impressed with your enthusiasm for the company and your willingness to dive in and help wherever needed. You have gone from gofer to being my go-to guy. When someone else dropped the ball, you were there. I just wanted to say thanks, buddy, and I hope you will continue to care for and nurture this company of ours as you move up. Thank you from all of us for combat duty and a great attitude.
