Catch employees doing
things right.
One workshop
attendee told me, “When I
do something wrong, I get
recognized 100% of the time.
When I do something well,
my manager rarely says
anything at all.” Research
shows us that people on
high-performing teams hear
an average of 5 positives
for every one negative. On
average performing teams,
the number goes down to
2:1, and for low-performing
teams, it’s a miserable .3:1. If
you’re not getting the type of
performance you want, look
at your own positivity ratio.

Provide tangible evidence
.
When you tell someone you
appreciate them; you create
a beautiful memory. When
you write it down, you create
a treasure. A post-it note with
a smiley face on it given at the
right time may be just what
that employee needed.
There you go – when you change
your language AND focus on
applauding the efforts of your
team members, and you will
change your workplace, one
“thank you” at a time.
