Team Building — Accomplishment and Celebration
Information on Accomplishment and Celebration
"Accomplishment and Celebration" is one of the nine dimensions of the high-performance
team wheel.
Accomplishment and Celebration recognises the importance of reward,
recognition, and reinforcement to sustained effort and enthusiasm throughout projects,
as well as when the job is done to recognise
achievements and celebrate. Since environments don’t always provide sufficient reinforcement,
team members reward one another for their efforts, good ideas,
and accomplishments; they encourage one another, fostering team spirit, and
by being generous with positive feedback. Team members go out
of their way to find accomplishments to recognise and celebrate.
There
is a continuous sense of progress and achievement in a
team strong in accomplishment and celebration. Team members create
opportunities for celebrating success and achievements. Team does not wait
until huge projects are finished to celebrate or acknowledge what
they have done so far. If teams wait until the
job is entirely done to celebrate, motivation and enthusiasm may
flag while they are still needed. You might see signs
of resignation, hopeless-ness, or complacency, or simply that lack of
spark or zest that enables extraordinary performance. A lot of
people dismiss celebrations as premature or unnecessary, depriving themselves and
others of joy and energy that feed greater performance.
