Don’t Skimp When it Comes to Reward and Recognition.
These days, leaders in Ireland and elsewhere are preoccupied with figuring out new strategies for cost control and revenue growth. Everyone is so focused on ensuring a successful recovery. While you do all the right things to lead your organisation strategically and operationally out of these tough economic times, don't forget to take a minute to recognise the people working so hard alongside you.
A culture of praise and recognition needs to be established at the top. That's one of the keys to building a motivating culture. It is a differentiator that will separate successful organisations in Ireland from unsuccessful ones on the path toward economic recovery.
While leaders intellectually understand the importance of recognising people, the reality is that it still doesn't occur at anywhere near the level it could. No one ever says they get enough praise. What gets in the way of managers catching people doing things right more often?
