This week’s paper provides an opportunity for you to reflect on how you or your organization recognizes individual or team contributions. The final two commitments of exemplary leadership are: recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individual excellence, and celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of community.
Write a short paper addressing how individual excellence is appreciated by you and/or your organization. You can speak to some of your colleagues to find out what encouragements are most meaningful to them. How do they want to be recognized? As a leader, what would you do to encourage the heart of your team? How would you recognize success and the efforts of your team? How do you reinforce core values and culture?
Be sure to apply the course concepts in your writing by referencing the course text as well as additional scholarly sources to support your thinking.
