Day 14: Happy #TeamLove Day!

15

Happy #TeamLove Day! Today, let's focus on words of Praise. Sweeter than honey. And in many workplaces, rarer than diamonds.

Why is that? Often, we think we're doing something constructive only pointing our gaps and misses. We believe that focusing on correction helps reduce the chance of errors.

Often, in our desire as leaders to move quickly, we fail to set the stage for success. We delegate projects with little clarity or context. We tell, instead of enroll. We fail to check alignment. And then we're surprised when expectations are not met.

Taking the time on the front-end to specify and clarify gives us both a better chance for success. And then when we get together for our next check in -- be on the lookout for things that went well. Focusing on gains and progress brings more of the same. Our words matter, especially the higher up we are. Remember, Praise brings progress.

 

Comment below so that we as leaders can all share more #TeamLOVE today and every day. Want more great content from us? Subscribe today and we'll send you periodic love by email.
