November 22: Recognize Unconventional Talents
Not every talent will make headlines, but it can add value in unique ways. A quirky skill could just solve your next problem.
No skill is too quirky if it can help the team.
Unusual talents add unique value. Maybe one team member is an expert negotiator, or another has a knack for creative analogies. Recognizing these unconventional skills lets people know they’re valued beyond the job description.
Take Action: When you notice an unusual talent—no matter how small—celebrate it in front of the team. Recognizing quirky skills builds morale and a sense of belonging.
