When you are doing your job the right way, it doesn’t hurt to ask for a good word to be put in for you, but people will do it naturally. I have heard it said that when you do something good people will tell four people, when you screw up they tell eight. Needless to say negativity spreads faster then goodness. So before someone asks, go and put in a good word for them. Be intentional about helping someone that has done a good job for you.
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.
