Make Progress Visible

Why celebrating progress builds momentum.

Feel like your team loses steam between big milestones?

On Sunday, I shared how I’ve been experimenting with a daily log of accomplishments. Have you ever thought about using small wins to help your team build and sustain momentum?

Because small wins do more than boost morale, they keep people moving forward when the finish line still feels far away.
- They reinforce progress.
- They motivate consistent action.
- They help build confidence over time.

If you lead a team, what are some ways you can make these small wins visible for everyone?
- Call out progress in daily stand-ups (but don't turn it into a status update!)
- Share “wins of the week”
- Encourage people to log what they’re proud of in a team channel, on a whiteboard, or on flip-chart paper

The best leaders don’t just track KPIs, they track the habits and micro-successes that drive those KPIs forward.
