APPRECIATION

Appreciation is an action that can add value to both a core concern and a strategic objective. It involves enlisting helpful emotions in the minds of others to encourage cooperation and engage in a win-win conversation. You win by helping others see how they can help you. Start by seeking to understand and find merit in what is being said to then communicate your own understanding through well-chosen words and actions. When seen from an ontological perspective appreciation involves a clearer understanding of another person’s worldview.
