Recognition and Inspiring Greatness in Others

Social Determination Theory tells us human personality and behaviour centre around 3 domains: autonomy, mastery, and belonging.

Interested in probing deeper into a ‘how’ for belonging? Recognition could be the answer.

Wait, but how to recognize someone, such as a colleague? What can we say when we are recognizing someone?

The following word-for-word content from Appreciate: Celebrating People, Inspiring Greatness (2017) tells us how to go about this:

Situation — what was the challenge or opportunity the person was faced with?

Action — what specific actions did the person take to overcome the challenges?

Impact — what difference did their actions make for the customer, team, or organization?

Link — how did their actions link to what the team or organization values?

All the best with your future recognition of those around you.
