Burning The Free Fuel
Adopting this small concept can make or break your efforts toward good leadership. In Lee Cockerell’s Creating Magic he talks about “Burning the Free Fuel” or, ARE. ARE refers to the practice of using appreciation, recognition, and encouragement as powerful motivators for the team – essentially fueling productivity and morale without spending anything. Not only that, we’re reminding the team how much their efforts matter in the larger picture.
By consistently offering genuine praise, showing appreciation, and recognizing good work, leaders can create a positive work environment where employees feel valued and motivated to contribute. Cockerell emphasizes that this type of leadership creates stronger relationships and fosters loyalty, which ultimately enhances organizational morale.
