You Get What You Celebrate It’s not just a catchy line. It’s a principle that quietly shapes your team’s culture, their behaviors, and ultimately their performance—whether you realize it or not. Think about it: what you highlight, reward, or call attention becomes what people start repeating. If you constantly celebrate the fastest coder, the person who pulls late nights, or the one who jumps in to fix emergencies, you’re training your team to chase those moments—even if they’re not actually helpful in the long run. In this episode, we’ll explore how celebrating the wrong things—like just results or raw effort—can lead to some unexpected consequences. And more importantly, we’ll talk about what to celebrate instead: things like thoughtful collaboration, steady improvement, and decisions made with clarity and intention. We’ll also get into real-life examples. For instance, have you ever seen someone praised for staying late to fix a big bug… only to realize later they were the one who caused it? It happens. And when it does, it sends the message that late-night heroics matter more than preventing issues in the first place. That’s the key insight: whatever behavior gets the spotlight, gets repeated. So in this episode, we’ll unpack how to shine that spotlight on the things that truly build better teams—from communication and ownership to experimentation and follow-through.
