Find out what each teammate is quietly great at. People work harder for someone who noticed.

Almost everybody is good at something that has nothing to do with their official role and that nobody has ever mentioned. Being seen accurately is rare enough to create real loyalty, and it is practical too, since a group that knows its own abilities can put the right person on the right problem. Most of that information is simply never asked for.

Ask two people this week what they are better at than people realise. Then give one of them a job that uses it. Noticing out loud costs you a sentence and changes how somebody works for months.
