My son tied his shoes by himself today. As a parent you sometimes forget everything one has to do to become a person as you grow up so you learn to celebrate the little things we take for granted.
My son was so happy and I was so happy for him. I gave him probably 10 high fives. He had the biggest grin on his face as he went to school.
Managers! Your staff is the same way! Don't give them false praise for the daily activities that they are supposed to do, but then they triumph and land an account they have been working on, or learned a new way to overcome an objection, or in any way go above and beyond be sure to recognize that. Often people will work harder for recognition than they will for money.
Besides the smile it puts on their face, it can inspire the team to know they will be recognized for their work which leads to increased productivity and better top line results. It also will make you feel good as you get recognized for leading this inspired team!
Thanks!
