#Recognition March 30

March 2026 marks the 75th consecutive month that Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I have completed a 30-Day Coach4aday Challenge. For this milestone month, we’ve chosen to focus on teaching. Each day for 30 days, we will share one lesson, principle, or insight gained from the previous 74 challenges—calling it the 30-Day Coach4aday Teach It Challenge. For each of us we believe that our own personal growth increases when we share it.
One of the hallmarks of great leadership is how they distribute RECOGNITION to those on their teams.
Giving credit to others as a leader is paramount if you want to have a cohesive and overachieving unit. Unfortunately, many talented and highly intelligent people fail at leadership because they want the recognition for themselves.
“Teach It” 30 Day Challenge Guidelines
In past challenges, we invited others to join us, though participation has been limited. This month, the three of us will return to January 2020—the very beginning—and move forward to the present, reflecting along the way and sharing a life lesson or insight from any month with one another.
Here is how we will do it.
- Identify the principle, insight, or lesson from a previous 30-Day Challenge-identify the Challenge also.
- Teach that lesson to each of us.
- Share the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Day 30-Giving Credit and Recognition to Others
Throughout my career I have seen driven results-oriented individuals rise to positions of authority. They ultimately fail because of hubris. They don’t understand that giving away credit done in a genuine and authentic way elevate them long term.
