"Encouraging the heart” means to make someone feel positive about themselves. One can do this by complimenting another’s actions, or ideas. One can accomplish this task in an even more efficient manner if one were to know the other on a more personal level. Once this is achieved, one feels much better about his or herself and thus does better in his or her endeavors.
As a leader, one must help to celebrate another’s achievements and victories. This will also allow people to have a sense of ebullience in their hearts and thus perform better on their task. When an achievement is accomplished well, especially by a team, this fosters unity and connection throughout the group.

This must be acknowledged too. “In acknowledging community, leaders create a sense of team spirit, building and maintaining the social support necessary to thrive, especially in stressful and uncertain times." It is innate that humans like to celebrate things, and so when one person or one accomplishment is celebrated, people feel elated. If celebrated, it is most ideal for it to occur in public, so that the person or team truly feels special and proud of what deed took place. This feeling allows accomplishments to occur again, while also increasing the quality of the accomplishment.
Encouraging the Heart has many beneficial aspects to it. Not only will a leader make his or her team feel good about the team itself or the individuals, but by doing this the leader fosters more and better achievements.
