After a leader turns around the performance of one of his direct reports, he and his coach explore how it happened. And how to make it stick.

Core ideas in the episode:

  • Workplaces improve when positive feedback is present
  • Our natural human negative bias is a barrier to giving positive feedback.
  • Learn to notice when things go well.
  • Tell people how they are helping solve the puzzle that is work.
  • Research says the most effective feedback ratio is 4-to-1, positive to developmental.

Positive Feedback might sound like this:

  1. Recognize what’s going well – and be specific
  2. Appreciate how it’s helping solve the puzzle
  3. Express your thanks

Developmental Feedback might sound like this:

  1. Describe what happened – and be specific
  2. Explain how it affects the puzzle solving effort
  3. Express your hope for a different outcome
