REINFORCE

If your goals are important (and they are!), that message should be reinforced all year long. Visual reminders and traditions work in combination with a culture of respect and recognition put your values front and center. Renaissance staffs use items like posters as reminders, and create micro-traditions like staff shout-outs at the beginning of each meeting to create a sense of camaraderie.
