Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Praise loudly. Blame softly. Whether you are a spouse or a supervisor, a friend or a colleague, praise is always most effective when shouted from the tops of the trees. A person likes to be praised, but even more, he likes others to know what impressive thing he has done. And he'll do more if he values the praise. Regardless of your relationship with a person, blaming softly is more effective. If you raise the stakes by making a spectacle of a person's errors, you will only make him hate you, perhaps seek revenge, but most likely you will not inspire him to correct the mistake and do better next time. A quiet word just might move him to avoid future errors...especially if he sees how loudly he might be praised if he gets it right! Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Messenger.
