Most companies run employee recognition programs but this is not enough. What’s more important and has the biggest impact, is what the people leaders do for the people who report to them. When people experience gratitude from their manager, they’re more productive because they feel respected and appreciated.

So simple, so true so easy …..

"And when you push for implementation and they say, "I'll try", you should get a sinking feeling in your stomach. Because this really means, "I plan to fail". - Christopher Voss from Never Split the Difference. This quote from Chris Voss is more in the context of negotiation but I like how related these two ideas are. We should work hard to create environments where mistakes and failure are ok. Let me be clear, OK meaning allowed, not OK as in we're accepting mistakes and failures and brushing them aside. We need to learn and improve if we want to win. They're OK because this allows people to really commit to something. I will hit my numbers... I will complete this project... I will run a marathon... You might fail, and that's ok, because with the mindset of "I plan to succeed", you can push to your absolute best.

This is so simple yet lays out the very foundation of how business works.

Embrace the power of discernment: Invest your time and energy in those who value you. Avoid overextension in unfulfilling pursuits. Prioritize joy and success, staying authentically you. Above all, keep moving forward with purpose.

A good leader understands the importance of their team and recognizes that their success is intertwined with the success of the team. They empower their team members, provide support and guidance, foster collaboration, and celebrate their achievements. A strong team is the foundation of effective leadership. #TeamWork

Mistakes are opportunities to learn. Aka growth and development training. 😉
