Sometimes a team or family member performs in spectacular fashion. They achieve a result or execute a process in an extraordinary way. Those around them are proud of what they have accomplished and celebrate their success. In a matter of time, emotions return to normal and the high performer begins to work hard to achieve their next victory. But great leaders don’t forget about the accomplishment as quickly as lesser leaders might. In fact, they store it.
If someone comes to mind that does this for you, what a great prompt to reach out and express gratitude for their exemplar behavior.
My mom did this for me all growing up.
Many moms do.
Of course it would be a deeply meaningful behavior for any leader to replicate.
