Take some time to celebrate your team's wins today. The big wins, the small wins, and the good efforts that came up short. You don't have to make it a big event, but you can if you want. Sometimes just publicly thanking someone or highlighting some good news during a meeting is enough. Celebrating your team's wins does more than just create a feel good moment... - Provides an opportunity to publicly reinforce positive behaviors. - Shows your team that they and their efforts are seen and valued. - Generates momentum and creates a sense of efficacy and optimism. Routinely celebrating wins can form a cultural touchstone in your organization that drives performance and a sense of belonging. How do you celebrate the wins in your organization?
Yep! Studies show that celebrating inspires continued wins. Dopamine acts as an accelerant to seek that feeling again (dopamine loop), causing you to repeat those performances that caused you to win.
I’m always stunned by how many leaders do not understand this simple advice. Not saying I’m perfect at it, but it moves the needle for morale when delivered authentically
When I served it could be as big as a ceremony or as small as a pat on the back. Some preferred one over the other.
I couldn't agree with this more. It's absolutely the little things and making people's hard work feel appreciated
What a great reminder, Brandon! A culture of celebration creates a sense of unity and appreciation. 👏

9moI try to keep it simple and tell them how proud of them I am. I say it again, again, and again. It's impossible to say it too much but I try.
