Little effort - big return

Have you ever noticed that the "little things" in life are very often the "big things"? What do I mean by that? Let's look at an example everybody understands. When you have a partner you do not come home every night and bring a present, right? Even when you are madly in love and can't get enough of each other. What you (hopefully) do though is treat each other nicely. If you want to have a good relationship you have to treat each other accordingly.  In a Business setting it is very similar. There are many little things that can make a world of difference, they don't cost much beside your good will. Some examples are saying "Thank you" more often or letting someone finish their sentence without interrupting. It can even be as trivial as a nice greeting in an email. Try it and see that a little appreciation and respect goes a long way.
