Leadership First’s Post

Wise advice. Sometimes you need to realize you need, are more and you do deserve appreciation. As a leader, it is so important to remember to show your team that small but very important gesture.

“Go where your effort is appreciated” is a powerful reminder that valuing yourself and your work is crucial. If you’re in a situation where your contributions are not recognized or valued, it might be time to seek out environments and opportunities where your efforts will be truly appreciated and rewarded.

Be intentional about where you invest your time and energy.

"Where appreciation goes (and is felt)...energy (and good people) go!" Me, just now! Appreciation costs nothing but attention, time and willing. It's impact can: + Keep an employee from leaving + Attract other people to become employees + Foster loyalty + Create a culture where ideas flourish + Generates resilience through mutual support of each other Each of which can be measured in time, money saved, money made and many other standard metrics. Yet we never measure how appreciated people feel. Why? Because it's hard, probably and subjective. And yet it is one of the critical factors in teams, functions and companies that regularly performer better than all their competitors and peers. Just a thought... #leadingchange #leadershipdeveloment #thegrowthpioneer #appreciation

My advice: Don’t stick around. Go Where You Are Appreciated! Leaders, it's crucial to recognize the value of your contributions. Surround yourself with individuals and environments that truly appreciate your leadership. #Leadership #Appreciation #Growth #Opportunities #LeadershipThoughts

Advice I was given many years ago by someone I consider a mentor. Very wise words and should be part of your self-reflection to help yourself determine if this is your opinion, or if it is true then use to help pivot to where you will be appreciated. The key is self-reflection and removing emotion from fact or fiction.

A hard lesson learned

Solid advice for a fulfilling career.

It’s a difficult lesson to learn but we can’t force others to appreciate and understand our efforts. Even if our work is heavily supported by empirical evidence and has proven success with continued research. It’s stressful and frustrating when dealing with willful ignorance. What to do? Remove yourself from that environment. It isn’t serving you. And there is no reason to continue serving where you can’t grow and develop. Becuase willful ignorance breeds contempt for change and greater understanding. And that just ain’t worth your precious time. 🥰 Be you, only better, someplace else 😎

Respect an Appreciation drives your results
