"Well done"

Being relatively young in business brings both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes people are not sure how to react to things, particularly when you meet for the first time.

I must say one of the most frequent reminders of this for me is that amount of "well done's" I seem to get, for doing seemingly doing nothing-other-than-daily-tasks to deserve such praise.

..."Ok then, I'll email that over to you later"
"Great, thanks. Well done. Bye"

I must say, I'm all for praise and keeping high spirits, but it's definitely an age thing. That said, I shall enjoy it whilst it lasts and when I only receive congratulations for those tasks which are truely worthy, then I shall know we're no longer considered young.
