Does Recognition Put You in the Right State?
Summary:
Brian Reynolds, like many managers, evaluated his team's strengths and weaknesses. Confidently, he responded "Of course I do!" when asked if he recognized good performance. However, he hesitated at the question "How often do you acknowledge good performance face-to-face?" Admitting he never did, Brian believed his team already knew their worth. But is this enough?

Recognition is one of the most powerful tools a manager can use to boost morale and motivation. It’s worth exploring how acknowledgment can transform into increased self-esteem and productivity.
In our daily lives, we often describe someone upset as being in a "state." In psychological terms, this expression is quite fitting. Being emotionally agitated is just one of many "states" we experience throughout our lives. The "state" of motivation is one every employer desires in their team. In this state, employees are productive, efficient, and exhibit positive behaviors.
However, people are human. They have limited stamina, patience, and competence. Their capacity for daily excellence has its limits.
Ensuring someone achieves the right "state" can be as simple as linking it to positive reinforcement. Deep within us lies a repository of "states" and their associated feelings. When faced with specific circumstances, we adopt what feels like the appropriate "state," triggering stored emotions. This explains why some people react with anger in disagreements; it's the "state" they've anchored to such situations.
Contrast this with a skilled negotiator, who has trained to access a broad range of "states" for various scenarios. Whether calm, enthusiastic, skeptical, or humorous, they can switch at a moment’s notice.
Using recognition as an anchor for positive behavior functions similarly. Consider the "Employee of the Week" boards in fast-food restaurants. To an outsider, it might seem trivial, but for staff, being featured reinforces good performance and motivates them to continue those behaviors through public acknowledgment.
Brian Reynolds has yet to realize the critical role he plays in anchoring motivation within his team. By acknowledging good performance more directly and frequently, he could significantly enhance his team's morale and productivity.
