How Recognition Supercharges Growth

ā€œWithout continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.ā€
—Benjamin Franklin

🌱 What Seeds of Progress and Prosperity Have We Planted This Week?

Sometimes a team gets so busy that they miss the progress that's been made…Key milestones are met, but no one takes time to celebrate or recognize the effort. New initiatives start gaining traction, but they get lost in the rush to meet existing deadlines. Individuals achieve remarkable breakthroughs, and their accomplishments remain a well-kept secret.

When celebrating progress is left to the HR team as an occasional morale boost—it’s easy for momentum to fade and prosperity to stall.

But not on ROCKET-powered teams. High-performing teams build the habit of consistent recognition—tracking and celebrating wins of all sizes.


šŸš€ Why It Matters: Recognition = Acceleration
When you take time to ask, ā€œWhat seeds of progress and prosperity have we planted?ā€ you do more than reflect—you ignite forward momentum.

Recognition of Progress—one of the four pillars of the CREW Team Method—produces real results:

  • āœ… Boosts morale by reinforcing meaningful effort

  • šŸ” Builds momentum through compound growth of small wins

  • šŸ”¦ Brings visibility to unseen breakthroughs that deserve celebration

  • šŸ‘‰ Solidifies winning behavior by consistently signaling what great looks like

šŸ’” Quick Ritual for Team Leaders

Before the week ends, ask your team:
šŸ‘‰ ā€œWhat progress did we make this week—big or small?ā€
šŸ‘‰ ā€œWhat seeds of future success did we quietly plant?ā€

Then recognize it. Name it. Celebrate it.
Because what we recognize, we reinforce—and what we reinforce, we repeat.
