November 5: Stop Overwatering! 🚫💦

You wouldn’t drown a plant with water, so why flood your team with meaningless ‘thanks’? Give recognition where it counts—deep and specific.

Sincere recognition doesn’t need to be frequent, but it does need to be meaningful. Too much and it loses its value.

Just like drowning a plant with too much water, overloading your team with generic praise can backfire. Don’t say “good job” five times a day just for the sake of it—focus on recognizing moments that truly deserve it.

Take Action: For the next week, hold back on giving automatic praise. When you do give recognition, make it specific and tied to something important.
