Ep.216: Better Organizational Culture With The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, with Dr. Paul White | Leadership Podcasts
Wed Feb 04 2026
Ever thought appreciation is just about saying "good job"? Ever been told those (often empty) words by your boss or employer? Doesn't feel great does it, especially if you've been working hard for an extended period and that's the best they can muster. There is a better way to do it! This week I'm joined by Dr. Paul White, author of The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, so we'll be chatting about the importance of appreciation in the workplace, differentiating it from recognition, reward, and those empty gestures I mentioned! Paul also shares insights from his career as a psychologist and consultant, from the rise of neurodivergence awareness, his experiences with the dynamics of family businesses, and the five languages of appreciation.
