THE POWER OF SHIFTING A LEADERS SPOTLIGHT TO THE TEAM

When building a high performing team culture, it is critical that Leaders ensure individuals receive credit and recognition for work that is recognized by the organization as new or innovative.

Both in cross-functional team meetings and larger organizational settings, the Leader's job is to shift their spotlight to the individuals on their teams that were behind the results.

This creates a culture of team’s willing to put in extra effort knowing they will be recognized for ingenuity and innovative risk-taking by the organization.

Leaders who fail to shift their spotlight to elevate others will ultimately break the trust that they would have meticulously earned and developed at the start of a challenging project or initiative.
