Law #10: The Law of Appreciation - "Appreciation is the soul of high-performance, bringing meaning, resilience, and joy to the workplace"

In pursuit of high-performance, many of us have a tendency to focus on what there is left for us to improve. While it's important to be aware of where there's room to grow, it's just as important (if not more so) to celebrate the things people are doing well and we want to see more of.

In this episode, we talk about looking for what there is to appreciate as a practice, and why expressing that appreciation is critical to cultivating high performing teams.

We discuss:

• The cost of skipping over appreciation
• Why offering and receiving appreciation can be difficult, and what to do about it
• How a focus on strengths improves a team's ability to tackle challenges
