Extensive research has indicated the benefits of showing gratitude to those around you, including your colleagues or employees. However, a new study suggests that the timing of these expressions can make a big difference.

Perfectionism in leadership can be a powerful force, driving leaders to set high standards and achieve exceptional results. However, this same drive can also lead to overwhelming stress and a constant sense of inadequacy, ultimately hindering both personal and professional success. As an executive leadership coach, I’ve seen how perfectionism can become a double-edged sword, pushing leaders to excel while also creating significant obstacles.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
