Are You Celebrating In Business The Right Things And Often Enough ?
When we celebrate success are we considering what we are celebrating enough? Do we congratulate our successes enough? In this episode Lee tackles how we should be celebrating success not just more often but changing its focus to good skills and habits.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We typically celebrate end results, above and beyond, things that exceed expectations. However, we see it as instant failure when they fail to meet our expectations or standards when things are not going as planned. There is as much learning to be done about success as there is about failure. Celebrate success more often. Become familiar with success and the circumstances that cause it, just as you do with failure. Do we celebrate the skills and positive habits of our people, or just targets, benchmarks and deadlines?
BEST MOMENTS
‘I think we find it harder to celebrate stuff than we do to find fault in things. I think we need to redress the balance a little bit.’
‘By asking “what are we celebrating” then we become more familiar with celebrating stuff.’
‘If we can truly celebrate the habits and behaviours that we want in our people as opposed to the results that we’re getting, or trust in the behaviours of the right ones to get the results then the results will just come.’
