“Have confidence that if you have done a little thing well, you can do a bigger thing well, too.”

—David Storey, novelist and playwright

MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

What if football fans reserved their applause for a touchdown or field goal only. No one yelled encouragement. No giant foam No. 1 hands waving in the air. No enormous painted bellies. It would take away a lot of the fun and excitement. And much of the players’ motivation.

The same goes for the office. Don’t hold back recognition until a project’s completion. Celebrate the little landmarks along the way. Recognize small achievements that move you in the right direction. The momentum you create will help carry you toward your ultimate goal.

And if you come in with your stomach painted blue…well, good for you.
