The core idea being that work is a collaborative effort - a we thing rather than a me thing - so it makes a lot more sense to discuss how we are going. If someone I report to is prepared to be 'fair dinkum' and share their progress, aspirations, successes and missed opportunities then I too will do the same and we both benefit. Everyone hungers for praise and validation but we seem to be hell bent on with holding it or being tough and not even acknowledging this deep hunger. Of course the form of praise or acknowledgement will vary according to individuals own styles etc. There is a simple Appreciative approach that seems to be quite similar to what is summarised in this post.
