Listen "Do you love a party? Here is your excuse to celebrate at work!"
Episode Synopsis
Ever been part of a team that starts strong, then slowly loses steam?
A few setbacks, a little negativity, and suddenly, the vision feels heavy.
John Kotter’s sixth principle of change reminds us: celebrate the small wins.
Change is hard. Progress isn’t always obvious. But when we stop and remind our teams of how far we’ve come, we reignite belief and motivation.
Research by Amabile and Kramer calls this “the progress principle” — the most powerful driver of performance is seeing progress in meaningful work.
So, here’s the challenge: What small win could you celebrate today?
It might be a finished task, a difficult conversation handled well, or simply a team that keeps showing up.
Celebrate it. Name it.
Because small wins fuel big change.
