Someone earned a thank-you this week

Weekly suggestions for who deserves recognition, based on what the team actually did.

Recognition fails from bandwidth, not intent. Managers notice the work, mean to say something, get pulled into a meeting, and the moment passes. Do that fifty times and the team learns that good work is invisible.

People repeat what gets recognized. A manager who misses the wins trains the team to stop producing them.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

Every week, this routine suggests who on your team earned recognition: the shipped work, the saved day, the quiet save nobody applauded.

You get the prompt and the reason; the thank-you itself stays human. Recognition stops depending on your memory surviving the week.

Copy this prompt into a new Littlebird routine. Edit the days and times to fit your schedule.

Every Friday suggest team members I should recognize or praise for their work this week

VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.

FAQ

No -- it gives you the who and the why. The words are yours, which is the whole point of recognition.
