Celebrate What You Want to See More of

The challenge isn't to keep your eye on big competitors. It's to pay attention to the innovators.
Dave Duffield

In the book, Leading Early Childhood Organizations, one of the contributors, Nancy Rosenow, writes:

“Heart-centered leaders know they must help set the tone they want in their organizations by focusing more on what’s working well than on what’s not. Management guru Tom Peters, author of many acclaimed books such as In Search of Excellence (Peters & Waterman, 2006) and The Pursuit of Wow (1994), has been widely quoted as saying, ‘Celebrate what you want to see more of.’ Heart-centered leaders are great celebrators. They rejoice in effort as much as achievement. They notice courage, kindness, commitment, and celebrate those qualities often and exuberantly. They don’t wait for the ‘big success’ to plan a party, for they know that the loving energy people bring to their work is actually more important than any particular achievement.”
