Become the Leader Your Team Deserves: Personalized Awards and More

Are you a leader?

True leaders don't just tell, they show. They walk the walk, inspire action, and foster a culture of excellence. But how do we translate inspiring visions into tangible steps for everyday leadership?

Here are a few actionable tips to guide your journey:

  • 1. Be the embodiment of your values: Actions speak louder than words. Live your company's and most importantly SELF values in everything you do, from communication and collaboration to work ethic and dedication. This authenticity builds trust and inspires others to follow suit.

  • 2. Empower and recognize: Strong teams thrive when individuals feel valued and empowered. Delegate tasks, provide opportunities for growth, and celebrate successes. Recognition, whether through personalized awards or a simple "thank you," strengthens team bonds and motivates everyone to reach their full potential.

  • 3. Foster communication and transparency: Open communication creates a sense of belonging and promotes accountability. Share your vision, listen to feedback, and be transparent in your decision-making. This builds trust and fosters a collaborative environment where everyone feels heard and valued.

  • 4. Lead by example, even in small ways: Punctuality, respect, and a positive attitude are contagious. Be mindful of your own actions and set the standard for professionalism and dedication. Every little action sends a message, so choose wisely!

Remember, leadership isn't about being the loudest or most powerful person in the room. It's about inspiring others to be their best selves and achieve great things together. As John C. Maxwell, renowned leadership expert, said: "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."

To help you on your leadership development journey, consider:

  • Personalized Awards: Recognize and reward individual achievements with custom awards that showcase your company values and team spirit.

  • Nametags: Fostering team identity starts with something as simple as a nametag. Choose unique designs and encourage personalization to build camaraderie and a sense of belonging. Our friends at Mountain Valley Horse Rescue love wearing their customized name tags with pride!

P.S.S. In my 13 year hospitality career, I’ve built and managed multiple teams at a couple of 4 Diamond properties here in Vail,CO. I learned from being in the “trenches”, working the close-open schedules, working the night audit shift on a last minute “no call, no show” and learning to become the leader my team and I needed throughout those experiences. Please don’t hesitate to share your story as I’d love to hear your unique journey.
