Seminar Team Development
Employee Retention through Targeted Motivation
Professional Praise and Criticism for Leaders
Does your praise have at least as much impact as your criticism? Do even your closest employees willingly change their behavior after your criticism?
A skillful criticism given in private, a targeted praise of your team—this naturally leads to a willing improvement in behavior among your employees or colleagues.
To encourage enthusiasm for performance and further activities related to team development, it is crucial that praise outweighs criticism.
When you praise someone, they become more lively and active. Praise gives energy. On the other hand, if someone is constantly criticized, they lose the motivation to act. Criticism drains energy.
However, there are clear necessities for criticism. Occasionally, overly personal habits or negligence creep in that are neither good for interpersonal relationships nor for the work itself. If rational conversations do not help, it is best to skillfully demotivate this behavior in the employee. Immediately afterward, skilled leaders build constructive behavior in the spirit of team building.
We will familiarize you with the professional strategies of feedback. Afterward, you will actively explore new and effective strategies for praise and criticism. You will significantly increase your positive influence on the enthusiasm of your employees.
