Real Talk: Leading Small Teams

169: Positive feedback isn't just being nice - it's they key to high performance


Listen Later

"Where do I even stand on this team?" This simple question is what every team member secretly wonders - and yet... 78% of leaders wait until big milestones to provide recognition. 

In this week's episode, I share why "pouring gas on what's going well" transforms average performers into team champions, how to avoid the ole' "compliment sandwich," and the language to use when giving effective praise that drives real behavior change (without sounding like you're handing out participation awards). Research shows that the more positive feedback we give, the more receptive folks are to the constructive.
