ChefBeckyD said:My director always starts the year by asking us what kind of coaching/contact we would like. So we let her know if we want weekly, monthly, or if cluster meetings are enough. We also let her know if we would prefer face-to-face, phone, or email coaching.
You know me and my director though - it's not a problem for us! I talk to her a couple times a week usually - always have. But that's because we're good friends now too.

One guiding principle I will apply to my team is to coach for their needs, not my own goals. My director has not always adhered to that principle and it really demotivated me.
amy07 said:You're right, it is a delicate balance. And that's what I'm still trying to figure out. I find that I am very good at sending the postcard or email recognizing an accomplishment, but not all seem to like it: almost like big brother watching over. Obviously it is a personal preference and that's why I'll be asking them all.
Do any of you ever just get tired of being recognized? What I mean, is if you are the only one (or 1 of 2) who achieves the recognition at your monthly meeting do you feel like "big surprise" or "so what". I feel like recognition serves to 2 purposes:
1. congratulate the achiever
2. Motivate others.
However if nobody else is really "working it", does it mean as much to get the reward? Just thinking out loud.

Do you prefer email, postcards, phone calls?
Or do you just want your Director to leave you alone to do your own thing?
I'm going to be asking my team this, but I thought I would check with the cheffers to get your opinions/thoughts.
DebbieJ said:Amy until I promoted I felt like I was always getting recognized and overshadowing everyone else's achievements. I am a career PC person and many on my director's team are part timers or hobbyists. They deserve recognition, too!
Now that I am a director.... well, that's another story.
