Morale
In our profession it is too often that we can see the negative aspects of our fellow team members. We are quick to point out that which is wrong and seem to never see the positives. As a supervisor I feel that I should set an example and point out the positives as well as the negatives. A simple "thank you" to someone who has agreed to work OT to help out or to an officer for just performing their duties. A "thank you" goes a long way!
