Why is it that in an effort to improve performance, instances of criticism are more prevalent than instances of positive feedback? Providing constructive, positive feedback is truly what brings about the greatest change, not just of individuals, but for the organization as a whole. Therefore, as managers, you have to do more than criticize. You have to actually help. If you cannot offer any coaching, ideas, resources or other forms of meaningful help to those in whom you are disappointed, then you should quit criticizing them for not improving. In this week’s episode of “Managing to Make a Difference,” Larry Sternberg and Kim Turnage will offer you insights into the importance of positive recognition. After all, due to the wiring in our brains, we have to be more intentional in helping our people acknowledge and celebrating successes.
