In this episode of 'How to Lead,' Kate dives into the delicate art of rewarding top performers without doing what Linda would do - just giving them more work. She'll explore the power of personal acknowledgment, and strategies for setting clear goals, providing regular feedback, and maintaining balanced workloads to keep your team energized and productive. Kate also discusses the importance of celebrating successes and fostering high morale through empathetic leadership.

Whether you're a seasoned manager or an aspiring leader, you'll gain actionable insights to build and sustain a high-performing, motivated team.
