🔹 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲: 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 🔹

As leaders, our words carry weight — especially when we're offering feedback or praise. Done well, both can build confidence, encourage growth, and strengthen team culture.

Here are a few essential points to keep in mind:

✅ 𝗕𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰

Whether it's feedback or praise, always point out what exactly was done well or what needs improvement. Clarity drives better performance.

✅ 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀

Give feedback and praise close to the event. Delayed words lose impact and meaning.

✅ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

Feedback should address actions or outcomes — not personal traits. This encourages learning, not defensiveness.

✅ 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Don’t wait for problems to speak up. Acknowledge good work regularly to keep morale high.

✅ 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁

Feedback is a conversation. Encourage input from your team and listen actively.

✅ 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰, 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲

Public praise motivates and builds morale. Constructive feedback should be given privately to maintain trust and respect.

✅ 𝗕𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗲
Praise must be genuine. People can sense when it’s forced — and that can backfire.

✨ When done thoughtfully, feedback becomes a tool for growth, and praise becomes fuel for motivation.
