Winning Small

When you’re working in the social good sector, there is a lot of pressure to “win big” – whether it’s landing big gifts, getting big outcomes from a program, or maximizing the donations given for the largest possible reach. After all, when you’re working to make the world a better place, there are so many areas in which big wins can make a really big difference.

Here’s the tricky thing about big wins, though – when we focus all our energy and celebration only on the really big wins, we may actually lose ground in the small, sustainable wins that add up to bigger results.

Making time to celebrate small wins with your team will improve team dynamics, organizational culture, and overall performance.
