Catch them doing it Right vs Wrong

Working with so many organization for past 11 years have given me opportunity to see many managers and leaders behavior to award a team member.

Comparative study can tell you mostly same story...

Its very easy to spot a team member doing something wrong or mistakes, because people do feel its their right to give that news to others :)

At the same time when you see team members doing things right, telling it to someone feels like you are giving something from your pocket :(

Lot of manager, leaders, team leads, seniors and superior may feel good about some weakness in team member so they can feel superior to them or when their is opportunity to negotiate then can use this as tool.

Wrong things carry forwards your names almost everywhere, doing right things could end as soon as you leave the place/team.

Not recognizing the effective behavior of each team member apparently can be bad recognition of a manager as well, example ..I got grocery gift card...and i felt negotiated :(.

Manager should never take the responsibility of appraisal unless you are really aware of your team member, don't do it just because you are manager or you have the authority to do it, its not one of your calender event, its someones recognition you are providing.

Get the to know team by team members not by team lead if you are manager.

Be the first one to recognize, It helps in your recognition to your boss, don't be scared someday someone will catch someone doing wrong will hamper your recognition.

Rest more later....
