Give Meaningful Positive Feedback
Generic praise is forgettable. Specific recognition reinforces exactly what you want to see more of.
Works with:
Example Prompt
I want to recognize: [PERSON]. For: [WHAT THEY DID]. Specific details: [EXACTLY WHAT IMPRESSED YOU]. Impact: [HOW IT HELPED]. Write recognition that's specific enough to be meaningful and reinforces the behavior.
Pro Tip
Praise publicly when appropriate. Recognition in front of peers is often more motivating than private praise.
