Although it is not directly mentioned in this post, recognition by peers or leaders of ones accomplishments can literally increase the amount of discretionary energy an employee is willing to spend...and on a separate but decidedly linked relationship to its meanings, spend is a word intentionally used...its is their energy in reserve, so they have the choice of spending it or not...the trick is convincing them to use it of their own choice,,,Taylorism forces them to spend it under great duress...in order to create a highly productive, motivated, and professional team...they have to want to be there... Encourage Above and Beyond: “Finally, almost every successful business leader will affirm that today’s empowered workforce also requires more consistent recognition compared to teams in the past,” says Dermer. “Today’s modern performers thrive on recognition and this can be delivered both inside and outside of the confines of the office.” There are as many different ways to recognize exceptional performance as there are individuals—from a simple thank you to a formalized recognition in front of the team or organization. What will work best for your organization is up to you and your team. I like to keep it specific and, if appropriate, make it public. Recognizing accomplishment encourages people to go above and beyond what my routinely be expected.
