How do I allow my team to brag about accomplishments so they don’t feel their work goes unnoticed?
I’ve seen a couple of posts about bragging about yourself on Fairygodboss and I think it’s a great way to give someone an outlet to say something awesome about what they’re doing in a safe space.
I’m a manager and would love to create that kind of space for my team. I have a team of 7 people who are incredible. We as a team and individually have specific goals we challenge ourselves to overcome but a lot of this is just numbers reporting. I’d love for them to feel open about the challenges and accomplishments they had along the way and I want to prevent them from feeling like their small or big wins goes unrecognized. There must be a positive way to go about this. FGB’ers, any advice?

Hi all - ok this is a first.
The new boss, promoted from within, and I are a bad fit, to put it mildly. I put in my two weeks’ notice, and she replied that I could leave tomorrow.
Here’s the twist: I WANT to stay for two weeks, to put files in order, to coordinate with co-workers the processes for future events, and to finish setting up a Dropbox account for my department. Most of all, I work in a retirement community, and want to ease these beloved residents into the knowledge that their trusted friend is leaving them in good hands. They just lost the last ED without notice and took it badly.
This new boss rules with a cudgel. She starts all discussions with No you can’t do that. She changes my plans on ginned-up reasons (e.g. she canceled my bus trip due to “insurance changes” which had nothing to do with the trip). She lays down the law, and when advised of an error, she doubles down and tries to blame the victim of her error. She refers to staff members as “bodies,” and cares for the residents based on the level of their rent checks. I can’t get away from her fast enough.
Still, I have a good plan for leaving, and as you can tell from the above description of her, any discussion is going to go badly.
any and all advice is much appreciated!
