My boss asks us to hold a monthly birthday salo-salo for all our staff. No one is required to bring food for everyone (there are more than 40 of us in the group, so this would be unsustainable.)  But it a chance for us to celebrate the birthdays of the celebrants for the month... it is a chance for us to eat together and to just gather as one.

This month, the Procurement Office was assigned to spearhead the birthday salo-salo. This is one of the busiest offices in the university, as they are a part of the bidding process, purchase everything from pencils to cars, etc.

It was heartwarming to see the effort that they placed in preparing the event. Not only did they reserve the venue, invite everyone, etc. But they also went beyond and prepared video clips with themes on team building, camaraderie, and heroism. 

It is truly inspiring to see your team going beyond what is expected. This is the best reward that a manager.. rather, a leader, can get.
