Celebrating Success

CELEBRATING SUCCESS

There are MANY great things going on at Paramount including examples both big and small of waste elimination, process improvements, and increased efficiency.  The problem is, not many people know about it.  Whether that's a result of our humble personalities, our busy schedules, or we just feel like these improvements are supposed to be part of our jobs, the effect is the same, our achievements and innovation happen with little knowledge or fanfare. 

Why celebrate?  Let me throw some science at you to explain.

"Small victories build new androgen receptors in the areas of the brain responsible for reward and motivation. The increase in androgen receptors increases the influence of testosterone, which further increases confidence and eagerness to tackle future challenges. When you achieve a series of small victories, the boost in your confidence can last for months." - Dr. Travis Bradberry (Coauthor of Emotional Intelligence)

In normal person speak, "When you do good, you feel good and want to keep it up."  In addition, sharing our achievements will help fuel innovation or give an idea that may be a useful fit for another department.  So go ahead, tell us what you're doing that's making you a better department.  Encourage your employees to take pride in their achievements.  Let's brag a bit about our great team at Paramount Apparel.

Stay Great,

Cory
