We’ve all heard about celebrating big wins. We see it all the time in sports, in movies, or we ourselves remember celebrating certain accomplishments and milestones.
But what about celebrating the failures and efforts vs. the results? When things get tough, and projects seem to drag on, should we as leaders celebrate the milestones and the effort despite whatever outcome is waiting for us on the other side?
And if so, how can we celebrate when we have a lack of insight or data to know whether or not what we’re doing is yielding us the results we’re looking for?
If you’re looking to boost that team morale, find a way to get through the last stretch, and have some fun while doing it, then this episode is for you.
