Do you pop for free food or small gifts at staff get togethers on a regularly scheduled basis. As well intentioned as always putting your staff's recognition first, you can fall into a predictability trap that eventually means little if anything to staff morale. You have heard of "random acts of kindness" right? If you are a habitual recognizer in predictable settings, just remember: it's a fine line between recognition and a for granted sense of entitlement.  So shake up your recognition.
