Ep. 96: Why Managers Withhold Praise & Recogntion

In this episode, we explore the power of praise and why so many leaders miss the opportunity to lift their people up. I share a personal story about my daughter Lauren, who, after four years with a boss who only pointed out what she could do better, finally experienced real recognition at her new job. Her new boss not only praised her directly but also made it public by cc’ing her boss’s boss – a powerful move that left a lasting impact. We break down the top reasons leaders struggle with recognition and why a simple, well-placed compliment can change everything. If you want to create a culture where your people love Monday, this one’s for you.
