Recognition is not the dessert. It’s the main course that fuels high performing teams.

Written with deep honesty and experience, Ditch the Sugar Coating challenges everything we think we know about Recognition. Nidhi reminds us that behind every high-performing team lies a simple truth: people want to be seen, valued, and remembered.

If you believe people are your greatest asset, this book shows you how to actually act on that belief. Not with grand gestures, but through small, intentional moments that build trust and loyalty. 

Technological innovation will rewrite every industry in the world. But even in a future driven by algorithms and speed, what truly powers organizations is deeply human: recognition, connection, and meaning. Ditch the Sugar Coating is a bold reminder that leaders who master both technology and the human heartbeat will truly shape the companies of tomorrow.

 A must-read for leaders who want to scale culture with revenue. With simple stories and anecdotes, Ditch the Sugar Coating brings clarity to much misunderstood levers of building culture: Recognition & Appreciation. Excellent Book.
