How to Use the Power of Social Recognition to Transform Employee Performance
“ Think about those intense work times when the team is all pulling
together and its total focus on creating something amazing
keeps team members working after midnight. A lot of those
happiness boxes are ticked off in those heroic times: feeling
like you’re progressing toward a goal, feeling optimistic; feeling
like you’re part of something bigger than the day-to-day work;
and feeling like you’re being supported and supporting others.
Those are legendary times at a company, and notice that people
are sustained through them, hour by hour, by the conviction
and affirmation that they are making progress toward the goal.
Happiness comes both from the end goal and making progress.”
