Leadership Tip
Driving for Success
In France most of the country
goes on holiday
in August.
The roads are crowded
as vacationers go to the
beaches
and other destinations.
The government started
a new program where
the police
pull over good drivers and
reward them with $60 gas
coupons.
As we know, drivers are typically
stopped for
bad driving.
Similarly, we often pull over
poor performers to
reprimand
or correct their behavior.
We often forget to reinforce
positive
behavior when we see it.
We do not take the time
or we take it
for granted.
We assume that “They know,”
or “It’s their job.”
Ken Blanchard, a management expert,
says,
“Catch people doing things right.”
Reinforcing positive behaviors
and attitudes will ensure that you
are more likely to see them
repeated.
In order to drive for success,
pull people over for
good performance
and acknowledge it.
