BRX Pro Tip: Celebrate What’s Working
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tip. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, I know those of us who own and run businesses, we put a lot of time and energy into trying to fix things, trying to tweak things, solve problems. But sometimes I think we fail to stop and celebrate what’s working.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:19] Yeah, it’s so funny that a lot of a leader’s job is finding out what’s not working and you spend a lot of time working on the things that aren’t working. But I think it’s a good idea to also invest some time into celebrating the things that are working.
And if you spend more time holding up your team members that are doing great things and celebrating the successes as they come and publicly giving them credit or giving as many people credit as you can for the things that are working, that your business is going to run a lot better. You’re going to improve the culture of your business. You’re going to improve the morale of your business. You are going to feel a lot less stress because it’s going to remind you of so many things that are working that will keep you encouraged and motivated, and they’ll keep your team encouraged and motivated.
But again, we spend so many, so much time fixing people’s mistakes and encouraging them to do more. I think we’re missing out on an opportunity that’s there as well. If we look at it that way and reframe it in our own minds that every day good work is happening, every day things are working well, and people are succeeding, and invest some time in holding them up, celebrating their success, and you’ll find you’ll have a happier team, a more productive team, and a growing business.
