Wally Bock has written a great post on the power of praise in management. It includes sections on:
- What we know about praise
- What we know about how to give good praise, and
- Why don’t managers praise more?
If you find giving affirming feedback difficult - or just want to get better at it then have a look at his post.

Thanks for the mention and the kind words. Praise really is a power tool, but many managers, especially in my generation, were taught that praise would lower productivity. Silly managers!! Praise boosts productivity.
