Authentic Leadership Through Recognition Practices with Sarah McVanel
Recognition Quote: “When people are struggling, that is when we need to put them first and the task list has to come second. That’s what we’re seeing right now, that’s the latest trend.” Sarah McVanel
Creating a work environment where people feel appreciated and can connect with their leadership is of the utmost importance at this time. When so many people have been fighting through the pressures of the pandemic and working through really tough circumstances, we must make sure that they know their efforts are valued and recognized. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we welcome back Canada’s Recognition Expert, Sarah McVanel to share her thoughts about how you can ensure your team is getting what they need to feel the gratitude that they so richly deserve.
