Responding to Praise with Saira Absar

Phil is joined by communication and corporate affairs leader Saira Absar to discuss responding to praise during change. Change initiatives can be gruelling and can feel like a succession of uphill battles characterized by tight deadlines, difficult challenges, stretched capabilities, and long hours. Giving and receiving recognition energizes individuals and teams and builds momentum to tackle the next tasks and activities.  There is a lot of advice on how to acknowledge people’s efforts but little on how best to receive this recognition. It can be an opportunity to acknowledge those who give it, your contributing peers, and the strategy and tactics that led to the achievement. So, how do you respond to praise in ways that leverage the compliment for you, others and the project? You can reach Saira at:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sairanabsar/
