Emotional Fuel
Giving positive feedback can be a powerful tool to reinforce a desired behavior. And it’s a skill anyone can learn. Keep these things in mind:
Do it Now. Positive feedback is most effective when it is delivered as quickly after the desired behavior as possible.
Do it Publicly. While negative feedback should always be delivered privately, positive feedback is most effective when given in front of others.
Be Specific. Don’t give a general, “Well done, Sally.” Instead, identify the specific reason or detail that’s prompting your acknowledgment. “Great presentation in the sales meeting, Sally,” is much more effective.
Do it Often. Since positive feedback is “emotional fuel,” don’t neglect the small victories. Celebrate them too.
Be Authentic. Don’t offer empty praise. Mean it when you say it!
Giving positive feedback takes practice. Today, be on the lookout and try to catch someone doing something great. You’ll make their day… and probably yours, too.
