O Great One!: The Story
OGOshort for O Great Oneis the name my grandkids have called me ever since they could talk. It may sound over the top to some, but it came about because when my daughter was pregnant with her first child, I didnt want to be called grandpa, poppy, or any of the usual names. I wanted something a bit more fun and different. How OGO finally came to me is something I will tell in the coming story, but over the years, people always laughed when they heard the name. It was also easy for my grandkids to say, so it stuck.
Since then, OGO has become much, much more than just a nickname my family calls me. It has come to represent something Ive practiced and encouraged throughout my entire life: the awesome power of recognition.
O Great One! is a story about that powerful force. It centers on a guy named Jeff Johnson, who becomes CEO of the Happy Face Toy Company, an organization thats in dire shape when he arrives. Because hes new to the job, and even new to the industry, hes left scrambling and not sure what to do about the companys ever-sinking sales. That is, until a surprise gift from his grandson helps him discover that in his organization, recognition has been the missing ingredient that will turn things aroundfor him, for his team, and for Happy Face Toys as a whole.
I wanted to tell this story because Ive seen how impactful recognition can be. Ive also witnessed how devastating it can be when its absent from the life of an individual, a team, and even a large organization. Often people think of recognition as the kind of fluffy feel-good stuff that businesses talk about to try to make their employees happy. But if used right, it does a whole lot more than that. Simply put: if you give people the recognition theyve earned, if you show genuine appreciation and acknowledge the unique things people have to offer, then you will drive real results. And at the same time, you will lift the spirits of everyone involved. It really does feel good to receive recognition, and it feels every bit as good to give itoften even better.
Considering that recognition can have such a hugely positive effect, its amazing to me that its still vastly underused in business, and also in life. I think thats a crime. As youll see in this story, making use of recognition is not hard, its not expensive, and you dont need an MBA or even a position of authority to do it.
I know this is true because Ive seen it in action as my team and I built Yum! Brands into one of the worlds largest restaurant companies. It operates in 125 countries and employs nearly 1.5 million people. So Ive not only seen recognition work, Ive also seen it work on a grand scale with people from different walks of life all around the world. In fact, the story you are about to read is based on real-world experiences Ive had throughout my career as the leader of this mammoth organization.
