Study Notes

Performance Feedback

Feedback can be structured as a "sandwich," where positive comments surround negative critiques.
Relying on the feedback sandwich can lead to employees devaluing positive remarks, perceiving them as mere sugarcoating.

Importance of Genuine Positive Feedback

Positive feedback should stand alone to reinforce and encourage good performance.
Continuous coupling of positive and negative feedback can diminish the impact of the positives.

Tips for Effective Positive Feedback

Provide positive feedback without attaching constructive criticism to create a genuine experience.

Focus on Process Over Results

Praise the effort, experimentation, and problem-solving strategies rather than just innate talent or final outcomes.
Emphasizing the process fosters skill development and continuous improvement.

Building a Feedback Culture

Integrate positive feedback into everyday interactions rather than reserving it for formal occasions like appraisals.
Encourage peer-to-peer feedback among team members to promote a supportive environment.

Long-term Benefits

Cultivating a culture of positive feedback can enhance workplace performance and overall quality of life.
