Make it easy to spread the love So far, we’ve talked about rewards that are given by management, but enlisting employees in providing rewards is important too. As discussed in chapter 6, peers have a much better sense of who is really contributing to a project’s success than managers do. Remember Sam from chapter 7, who focused on managing up but whose tactics were painfully evident to his peers? It makes sense, therefore, to encourage peers to reward each other. gThanks (pronounced “gee-thanks”) is a tool for making it easy for people to recognize great work.
Should we consider something like this? Is it better than FEATS? what should the rest of Goodreads do to peer recognize?
