Giving acknowledgment at work is important. “Notoriety” can sometimes carry a negative connotation because that notoriety is from pointing out delays or failures. Address those issues in private! Focus on positive recognition. A simple, sincere 'thank you' goes a long way. Appreciation drives engagement, builds trust, and it gets better performance. That “thank you” in a meeting lets them know the hard work is noticed, it is appreciated, and at the end of the day, it makes a difference.
