4. Roughly by a three to one margin, employees
believe that constructive feedback does more to
improve their performance than positive feedback
The secret to having employees listen to your
feedback is whether or not they respect you.
Respect is earned, incredibly hard to get, and
requires authenticity.
You could have the
exact same thing said
by two different
people with two
completely different
effects.

6. Managing Expectations
What are my expectations as the leader?
Have I communicated these expectations to my team?
Do my team understand my expectations?
Do my team members accept my expectations?
Are my team members committed to meeting those expectations?
Do my team members know how they are performing against those expectations?
Am I supporting my team members to achieve those expectations?
9. Make your feedback specific
“Overall good job on the
presentation at this
morning’s meeting. But it
could have been better.”
This is so vague. What was
wrong with it. Plus, just
because you didn’t like it,
does it necessarily mean it is
bad? How could it have been
better?
“Great job on the presentation!
I really like how you used
statistics to back up your key
points.
One small comment: Maybe for
next time would be to invite
more comments from the group
to get them more involved.”
17. Your homework
