3 Simple Ways to Lead the Way and Give Positive Feedback
Sometimes the hardest thing for leaders to do is to pause, reflect and then provide positive, affirming words to others. In the vernacular of performance reviews or debriefs, we generally label it as positive feedback, but I���m referring to regular, daily communication with others.
Positive feedback meets several deep human needs, and you���re also you���re contradicting some of the lies and negative beliefs that they have about themselves. Just as important, there���s also a multiplication effect that comes from genuine positive affirmation. When people are affirmed, they are more energized and confident, and this impacts others.
How do you do it? Here are three simple ways:
Make it specific. Use a recent example of a successful contribution or some way in which the person has impacted you or the team.Make it genuine���short is fine. You don���t have to make a big deal about it���though in some situations that may be called for.Make sure you have positive energy and enthusiasm. If you are highly results-oriented and reserved, this step may be difficult. This is one time that acting your way into a new way of feeling and expression is not being phony. If you genuinely want to show appreciation and respect for the person, you may feel a bit uncomfortable. Stretch yourself to be more effusive in your delivery of this gift and give extravagantly.Please post your experience and comments below on other ways to give positive feedback.��
