People love knowing that we appreciate their efforts. A simple expression of gratitude, a token of that appreciation, can create bonds of friendship and a culture of teamwork among the people in our lives, co-workers, colleagues, leaders, friends and loved ones. A simple gesture I have used throughout my career that's cost effective and considered to be special by those who have received them is to give out rocks that say 'You rock!' on them. Sometimes, I'll include a card to commemorate why I felt their actions were rock-worthy. Feel free to try it and see if it works for you!
