Certain people require different things to feel good about themselves.
Some need praise from their bosses to feel good. Others need to know all the information about an industry or project before they can feel good about the work they’ll do. Then, of course, there are some wackadoos like me who need to fail a few times to feel good about themselves (because it means they took a leap).
While recognizing what others desire (perhaps through personality tests and spending time with them) is valuable, what’s more important is what you need to feel good about yourself and the work you do.
What has the most influence over your self-worth?
If it’s praise from your peers, let them know how motivating their pat on your back is. If it’s more information, carve an hour each morning to share your learnings/expertise on a subject with others. If it’s experience, do one thing a day that scares you.
You decide each moment whether you’ll stand still and let self-satisfaction slip away or if you’ll build on your self-worth.
