Research consistently shows that teams with high morale, trust, and opportunities for appropriate social interaction tend to have higher engagement, better collaboration, and stronger performance than teams where work is serious all the time. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Leaders often forget that "thank you" can strengthen relationships, improve morale, and reinforce the behaviors that help organizations succeed. When people know their efforts are noticed, they are more likely to continue performing at a high level.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 11 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/R83IO
Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "11 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.
