Celebrate

Yesterday I shared Leaders Celebrate with Their Teams – Part I, in which I outlined the importance of celebration to your team and a list of ideas of what to celebrate with your team.

The ways you celebrate as a team are as creative and diverse as the people on your team. If you create a celebration culture, your team will come up with ideas on their own. Here are a few:

10 Ways to Celebrate

  1. Have a celebration breakfast for an accomplishment or a holiday and then give the team the rest of the day off.
  2. Organize a team community service project. One team wanted to celebrate by serving in a food kitchen near our office. Giving back is a great sign of a healthy team.
  3. Ice cream celebrations and pizza parties are always a favorite. Food and celebration just go together like birthday cake and ice-cream.
  4. A team outing to play laser tag, go bowling, or a picnic.
  5. A team development opportunity in a nice location.
  6. A team lunch with executive leadership.
  7. A handwritten note.
  8. Specific recognition to the full team either written or live.
  9. A thank you call to the spouse of one of your teammates for their support when longer hours are required on a project plus a gift certificate for dinner out.
  10. And last, but also an option, a financial gift/bonus.
How do you celebrate your team's accomplishments? Here are 10 ideas for you to try! Click To Tweet

As a leader, make sure you’re creating a celebration culture within your team. It will refresh your team, let them know you care, and boost their morale!

“But the righteous are glad; they rejoice before God and celebrate with joy.” Psalm 68:3

How do you celebrate in your organization? I would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

    I really need to brag on the B&H Kids team. Last year, when our Big Picture Interactive Storybook achieved a high point of sales success, the kids team members had a celebration where they recognized many individuals in all areas of the company who contributed to the goal. That meant a lot! And today, B&H sales team members received a jar of goodies and a card that said thank you for our efforts in making the 2015 fiscal year a wonderful one in the kids area. Recognizing the contribution people in ALL areas of the company make – even if the reward is small or simply a “thank you” genuinely spoken – goes a long way in motivating employees. I am grateful the B&H Kids team gets it!

    Great advice but when my supervisor or organizations leader won’t allow these things it’s so hard and frustrating. I won’t stop trying!
