The best CEOs do THIS…

Summary

• People with high-quality companies often find it difficult to take personal credit for success.

• We might think that successful leaders need to have big egos and be very noticeable. But, those types are just more interesting to talk about.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a focus on team celebration rather than seeking personal credit. When we achieve success, let's shift our viewpoint to appreciate the team that helped get us there. This doesn't cost any money or take much time, but it builds a positive company culture and boosts morale. A great way to start is by setting aside a few minutes in meetings to acknowledge team contributions.

A good way of doing this is by writing a monthly newsletter that celebrates team achievements and highlights individual efforts. It helps everyone feel recognized and appreciated and can be put together quite easily.

Another actionable step is to encourage open feedback and ideas from team members. This creates an environment where everyone feels valued and invested in the company's success. You could set up a comment box or an open forum every month to share thoughts and ideas. Listening to your team can uncover great insights and solutions that you might not have thought of alone.

Lastly, encourage team leads to adopt this approach too. By fostering an attitude of shared success across all levels, we set a foundation for sustainable growth and happier teams. This builds both personal growth and a strong company culture without having to spend anything extra.
