*Unlocking the Power of Employee Recognition: More Than Just a Pat on the Back* 🌟 Employee recognition is more than a feel-good gesture—it’s a business strategy that drives success. Take Starbucks, for instance. Their “Bean Stock” program isn’t just about saying thanks—it’s about turning baristas into shareholders. Now that’s empowerment! 💼☕ Richard Branson once said, “If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers.” When employees feel valued, they bring their best to the table, and that’s a win-win for everyone. How are you recognizing your team’s hard work? Let’s share and celebrate the ways we empower our workplaces to shine! ✨ #EmployeeRecognition #Leadership #WorkplaceSuccess #TeamMotivation #BusinessGrowth

Terrific recognition for Stryker. Having gone through the Clifton Strengths process I was amazed how accurately the results matched my personality. What gets really interesting is when you look at the aggregate of strengths within a high-performing team. Underscores the importance of diversity in developing a comprehensive and complementary group of professionals; the balance of skills yields a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

A critical part of assessing your effectiveness as a leader? How engaged and aligned your team members are! Earlier this week, I spoke with an executive proud that their team's engagement levels surpassed the national average, which is only at 33%! 🤐 Don't settle for mediocrity! I really enjoyed the Partnering Leadership conversation with Garry Ridge, former CEO of WD-40. In our conversation, Garry Ridge shared how he led the company to achieve an extraordinary 👉 93.5% employee engagement rate 👉 98% of employees proud of their workplace and 👉 97% trusting their leadership And the business results? 🌟 Sales quadrupled. 🌟 Market capitalization soared from $250 million to $2.5 billion—a tenfold increase. 🌟 The annual compounded growth rate of total shareholder return was 15%. 🌟 International sales expanded as WD-40 grew globally into over 176 countries. 🌟 Product lines extended beyond the signature lubricant. 🌟 The company's stock delivered a total shareholder return of 1,369%, outperforming major indexes. ❓ What actions will you take to enhance engagement in your team and organization? Don't accept mediocrity when it comes to employee engagement. Push for excellence, and the results will follow! #partneringleadership #leadership Strategic Leadership Ventures #culture #collaboration #management #engagement #employeeengagement #strategy

Key takeaways from this insightful course on brand leadership: 💡 Culture is strategy. And this culture ultimately inspires client and customer trust. 💡 Brand culture should ALWAYS align with external identity. 💡 Employees can and only will deliver experiences to customers that they experience themselves. 💡 A gap between business and brand purpose can lead to confusion. However an integrated approach that includes all the stakeholders will create an authentic brand image. Just finished the course “Brand Leadership: Building Brand and Culture” by Denise Yohn!
