Manage The Person, Not Just The "Talent"
"For many bosses, 'recognition' means 'promotion.' But this is a big mistake in most cases. Promotion often puts these people in roles they are not as well-suited for or don't want. The key is to recognize their contribution in other ways. It may be a bonus or a raise. Or, if they like public speaking, get them to present at your all-hands meetings... If they like teaching, get them to help new people learn their roles faster. Or if they are shy, make sure you and others on the team thank them privately for the work they do. Consider, carefully, tenure awards."

Build A Culture Of Winning AND Losing
"It's not enough to create a culture where people love what they do and love the people they work with. If you do all that without achieving results, it's not just pointless, it's dangerous. You'll attract people who are comfortable, not people who want to do something great. On the flip side, if you have a culture where achievement comes at the expense of human connection, you won't get the best results, because fear and loathing don't drive collaboration, creativity, or excellence. The trick is to marry cultural health and business excellence."
