Imagine you're working hard, giving your all, but your boss doesn't seem to notice–or care. It's a scenario many of us have faced, but the good news is that there's more you can do about it than you think! Today, we're diving into the psychology of workplace recognition and how to stay motivated when you're not getting the appreciation you deserve. I'm thrilled to welcome my friend and colleague Shanna A. Hocking, founder and CEO of Hocking Leadership and author of ONE BOLD MOVE A DAY.
In today's episode of Psychology at Work, we cover:
◾ Why recognition in the workplace is essential for your performance
◾ How to stay motivated when not receiving acknowledgment
◾ How to get feedback and praise from a difficult manager
◾ How to cultivate a network of champions beyond your boss, including mentors and senior leaders
◾ How to manage feedback in the remote work environment
