Catching people doing things well, especially when they are rising to a challenge, provides the fuel for higher performance.
At a time when jobs are changing and people are taking on more responsibility – often without really knowing what’s expected of them – people need support and recognition more than ever. Who will provide it?
In the past, giving recognition was a frequently overlooked role of management. But in today’s cross-functional work environments, it’s no longer just a top-down function. Everyone needs to give recognition – to peers, managers, internal and external customers and suppliers. After all, you may be in the unique position to observe and recognize someone’s contribution.
If your work is stressful, fast-paced and demanding, it’s particularly important to take the extra time to observe and recognize the efforts of others. Recognition helps create a positive and supportive environment that is not only more pleasant to work in, but also encourages risk taking, initiative and individual growth.
