The importance of recognition applies to all aspects of performance improvement, whether it be individual, team or organisation wide.
A great example is now unfolding with the launch of the 2016 Six Nations Rugby Union tournament where success will be driven by the combination of excellent individual and team performances.
Martin Johnson CBE, captain of the last home nations team to win the world cup, channelled the talents of his team to perform at their best by focusing on the following key elements:
- What’s our cause?
- Our identity? – pride in the badge
- How do we work as a team?
- Winning after winning.
Global research shows that success is one of the key elements that people are looking for – the key requirements include:
- Balance in their life
- Simplicity in their life
- Success at something
- Be more effective at what they do
And when applied to the working environment research shows that:
- Staff feel they are given the opportunity to do what they do best every day
- They believe their opinions count
- They sense fellow workers are committed to quality
- They’ve made a direct connection between their work and the company’s mission
