How do I get my team to celebrate wins?

Your team never stops to mark a win. You finish one thing and move straight to the next, no acknowledgement, no breath. It can feel efficient, but something is being lost. People need to feel that their effort landed, that it mattered, or the work becomes an endless treadmill with no reward in it. Celebrating wins is not fluff or a waste of momentum. It is how people refuel. A moment of genuine acknowledgement tells them their work was seen, and being seen is a large part of why anyone keeps giving their best. Skip it long enough and even good people start to quietly wonder what the point is. You do not need a party. Next time the team finishes something real, stop for two minutes and say plainly what was achieved and who made it happen. Name it. Let it land before you move on. That small pause, done regularly, changes how the work feels. You are not slowing the team down. You are giving them a reason to keep going.
