This chapter discusses how positive energy contributes to strong interpersonal relationships and recommends using positive reinforcement such as praise, recognition, and incentives. It notes that encouragement and positive feedback satisfy basic human needs and are more motivating than monetary rewards alone. However, barriers like narcissism, being too busy, and failing to notice commendable actions can prevent the effective use of positive reinforcement. The chapter encourages rewarding both individuals and team performance.
