Brazilian achievement feels complete when it is witnessed and recognized by others. Accomplishment that no one knows about feels somehow unfinished; recognition makes achievement real by making it shared. Public acknowledgment—in front of colleagues, at celebrations, in front of family—motivates more than private feedback. Create opportunities for public recognition; celebrate achievements visibly; let accomplishments be witnessed by those who matter.
Recognition inspires as well as rewards: when achievement is recognized, it demonstrates what is valued and motivates others. The recognized achiever becomes model and inspiration. Recognition connects individual achievement to community, making personal success into shared experience.
