All projects—especially large, complex projects—need clear priorities. Easier said than done. You can count on technical projects, no matter how well-planned, to involve change orders, re-prioritization and the regular appearance of surprises. It’s just the natural order of things. But still. Knowing how to prioritize work affects the success of your project, the engagement of your team, and your role as a leader.

Managing and Engaging High Performers. Motivation comes naturally to most high performers; after all, that’s often part of their natural make-up. High performers consistently exceed expectations not only because they have the capability, but also because they want to. With high performers reported to deliver 400% more productivity than average performers, you need to focus on effectively managing and engaging high performers to keep them motivated and engaged.

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.
