How to Become a Great Finisher.

At Peg we get excited about new projects, but we also understand the importance of remaining focused until the end- when we have delivered a great product. This requires a real discipline, especially when the team is small and you need everyone to be a good starter AND a good finisher. This week’s #articlepegged is by Heidi Grant from HBR and it focuses on how to be a Great Finisher. Read the full article here or read an extract below.

Extract: Great Finishers force themselves to stay focused on the goal, and never congratulate themselves on a job half-done. Great managers create Great Finishers by reminding their employees to keep their eyes on the prize, and are careful to avoid giving effusive praise or rewards for hitting milestones “along the way.” Encouragement is important, but to keep your team motivated, save the accolades for a job well — and completely — done.
