Everyone loves a compliment. Especially if the compliment is sincere and is based on something they are really good at.

Management studies have shown, for example, that one of the greatest motivators for employees is to be complimented in front of their coworkers for a job well done. For many people, a compliment in front of their coworkers motivates them more than a cash reward. It gives them a feeling of accomplishment and a validation of their own work. It makes them feel good and helps them feel better about coming to work each day.

When someone delivers a service for you -- like a bank teller or a grocery clerk -- paying them a compliment costs you nothing, but can mean a lot to the person you're complimenting. They might remember it for weeks. It helps them take pride in their work and makes them feel good about their jobs. And in return, they're going to be more likely to remember you and give you good service in the future. It's a win/win situation.

When you compliment someone on a job well done, it tells that person that you saw something special in them. It says you paid attention to something they do well, and that you valued that skill in them. If they've spent time getting good at something, it reinforces their belief in themselves when someone else notices and compliments them on it.
