Yesterday, a friend at work told me a tragic story of misplaced kudos. He recently delivered a briefing to management about a product he painstakingly developed. A few days later, the office boss sent around kudos for people’s recent efforts, including my friend’s. The only problem? The email named someone else as the creator of the product, not my friend. Not that it’s an excuse for the manager not knowing his people, but the credited coworker has the same first name as my friend, making the mix up easy.
