At my workplace, the question came up of how best to publicly recognise people for good work, while minimising the amount of politics/friction/jealousy that comes about as a direct result of it. We have only just grown past the point where we all know each other well; hence why this sort of thing is becoming interesting.
My initial response to the question was "Make being praised unpleasant, using ugly trophies (sports team strategy) or stupid hats (university graduation strategy)" but I would like to say something more upbeat as well.
Is anyone aware of good writing on the subject/google keywords I could use to find the literature?
Money. Give the person a token bonus and let it be known that if you get a bonus you are not supposed to tell other people about it.
Money is expensive and not public recognition.
