Stop Saying it was a Team Effort

How many times have you slogged through a top-priority team project and pulled out all the stops to make sure that you get your part done… AND everyone else’s too? And then you get to the delivery meeting and find yourself saying “It was a team effort”? Ok, so it’s definitely not just us then! On this episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we explain why you shouldn’t let everyone take credit for your work and how to make others aware of your own contributions. We tell you why it’s problematic for you to allow others to benefit from your hard work and unpack the difficult team dynamics that can come from overusing the word ‘we’. Then we give you four great reasons to recognise and highlight your successes so that you’re inspired  to do it more. Stay tuned until the end of the episode when we tackle the thorny issue of how to tactfully call out team members who didn’t pull their weight. We hope that this episode will encourage you to self-promote your success at every chance you get! Get in touch with us via our Facebook page to let us know how it works out for you in your next big meeting or performance review.
