The class instructor asked us, “Do you feel you get enough recognition in your job?” Only one out of the thirty-four leaders taking the coaching class raised their hand. Sadly, several of the people in the room were leaders in my organization. This question led me to take a look at the importance of recognition at a deeper level.
