I'm sure I could think of a way to complicate this, bring in a Visio document, put it up on slides and charge attendance. However, that seems like too much work.
Thinking about your post brought me to a simple conclusion.
It's worth saying somthing anytime someone does somthing that helps you out. Maybe it's just in the course of thier duties, maybe it's especially for you. Either way, a simple "thanks" is often appreicated.
For those that are embarrased by praise...a simple "thanks" works for them too. There's no sense gushing disproportionately about how great it was. A lot of times I think people gush so much just to bring the attention back to themselves.
If someone saves your life, I think it'd be worth a card in the mail, a hug, your firstborn. You know, keep things proportionate.
But no matter what, saying "thanks" when you appreciate an action someone else has taken is always worth the time.
