How Can Leaders Effectively Recognize Their Teams?
Effective recognition requires a strategic approach:
1. Be Specific: Generic praise is less effective. Be specific about what the employee did and why it matters. 2. Timeliness: Recognition should be timely. Delayed recognition can lose its impact. 3. Public vs. Private: Some employees appreciate public recognition, while others prefer private acknowledgment. Know your team’s preferences. 4. Consistency: Make recognition a consistent part of your leadership practices rather than a one-off event.
