12 Benefits Of Having Leaders Who Know How To Celebrate Success

A leader who does not know how to celebrate is a leader not worth following.  Celebration is the payoff for all the hard work you have done.  If your team has just accomplished something significant, you can always evaluate and improve tomorrow.  Take a moment today and celebrate.  Celebration is also the motivation for your team to keep working hard.
