Leading by Example – Leadership that Inspires
Hello fellow Food Biters,
We have been off the radar the past month – life happened and our wheels, steering wheel, hand brake and gear lever came off. But we are back and ready to take up our monthly Food Bites Blog again.
August has been a special month for us. We are practically an all-women team (we have one thorn who has been carefully selected to live among the roses) and our decision to celebrate Women’s Day the entire month, was the best decision ever!
Our campaign is aimed at creating a platform where individuals can nominate an amazing woman in the food industry and at the same time inspire others to lead by example. With nominations closing on 31/08/2022, it’s not too late for you to nominate someone. Simply send an email to news@progress-excellence.co.za or look for our posts on social media where you can tag the person you would like to nominate using #leadbyexample.
It has been a humbling experience to see the nominations coming in and once again it reaffirmed what we all already know – as humans we thrive on recognition. The thing is, we are so wrapped up in our own lives that we often don’t tell people how much we appreciate their contributions. Recognition is, however, a brilliant motivator and probably one of the best ways to get buy-in.
Recognition comes in many shapes and forms, but the most valued, by far is simply peer recognition. Sure, some money in the bank or any other reward does make you feel good, but if you want to make someone feel GREAT, simply use your words to acknowledge them in front of their colleagues. It’s a warm and fuzzy feeling that cannot be described and is equally rewarding for both the giver and receiver. Make someone’s day today…
