You might have heard of it in Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton’s book, How Full is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life. And it’s true: We work better when our buckets are full.
How do we fill them? Put a drop in someone else’s bucket. A little good deed a day can go a very long way.
Point out something positive that someone on your team did that day.
Offer an honest compliment.
Share a smile.
Help someone out on a small task that makes their life a bit easier.
Offer an ear, give someone your full attention and listen without distraction.
Give unexpectedly, and without being asked.
How did you put a drop in someone’s bucket today?
