Gallup Q4: "In the last 7 days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work."

Tired, possibly cranky employers who are running short on time and patience, I see you. I know it's not always easy being an observant mentor in addition to all the other things demanded of you. And... if you want good, talented people to stick around, it behooves you to find the time to acknowledge and thank them for their efforts. Not to coddle or avoid accountability, but to make employees feel seen for their efforts, encourage their performance, and bolster their confidence. Leaders grow other leaders, and a key part of that process is mentorship and encouragement. So if you want a company that runs on competency and creativity, take the time to thank the people who make that happen. #smallbusiness #therisingeffect #businesscoaching #smallbusiness
