Wk 46 - Establish Support Structures and Celebrate Achievement
|
Hello Reader, Establish Support Structures and Celebrate AchievementAs a leader, it is important to establish support structures that help your team members feel recognized and rewarded for their hard work. This motivates them to continue performing at a high level and creates a positive work environment. Intrinsic and extrinsic rewards can both play a role in this. Intrinsic rewards refer to the satisfaction and fulfillment of doing a job well, while extrinsic rewards include tangible incentives such as bonuses or promotions. To create a supportive environment, provide both types of rewards. One way to create intrinsic rewards is to set achievable goals and provide regular feedback. When employees know what is expected of them and how their contributions impact the team and organization, they are more likely to feel motivated and fulfilled. Recognizing and celebrating big and small accomplishments can also help team members feel valued and appreciated. Extrinsic rewards, such as bonuses or promotions, can motivate team members. However, it is important to ensure that these rewards are fair and equitable and do not create a competitive or toxic work environment. Instead, focus on rewarding teamwork and collaboration rather than solely individual performance. In addition to rewards, it is important to encourage effort and growth. Provide coaching and mentoring to help team members develop their skills and reach their full potential. This includes providing opportunities for training, skill-building, and professional development. Lastly, celebrating achievements at all levels is essential. Recognize team members who go above and beyond and acknowledge the team's milestones and achievements. Creating a positive and supportive work environment will inspire your team to perform at their best and achieve great things together.

This is where it becomes dangerous because the thirst for vengeance grows. But vengeance does not heal a wrong. Only justice can do that. And justice, whether legal, political, poetic, or moral, is...

Hi Reader, Refuse to Drift A dear friend shared a sunset photo from Skaket Beach a few weeks ago. It’s one of the rare spots on Cape Cod where you can watch the sun sink directly into the ocean, something West Coasters often take for granted. The image stays with me, not just because of its beauty, but because it reminded me of a rhythm I’ve been missing. I miss Augusts spent with my dad in South Orleans. There was always that peculiar mix of relaxed calm and anticipation as lazy afternoons...
