What are you rewarding?

Are you rewarding authenticity or punishing it?

That question from They’re Worth It! gets right to the heart of human-centric leadership. If people only feel safe showing up as the polished, "acceptable" version of themselves, we are not leading people; we are managing performances.

Think about your team this week. When someone is honest, creative, or a little imperfect, what gets rewarded? What gets shut down? The answer tells us a lot about the culture we’re building.

Your reflection this week: notice one moment when authenticity shows up, and decide how you will respond. And if this idea sticks with you, You're Worth It offers more on leading with humanity.
