How to Give High Performance Praise

Leaderhood & Parentship

#65 - When’s the last time you received praise for something and it really made you feel a surge of pride? We’re guessing it’s less often than you’d think. Most of us never learned how to use praise effectively, making it feel more like a “nice to have” than an effective leadership strategy. But, the importance of praise should not be discounted. In this episode, Shane breaks down the model CultureSmith Inc. uses to deliver impactful, high performance praise. First, Shane explains the importance of praise and why so many of us feel “allergic” to it. Then, we explore the consequences if we do not change how we deliver praise. Finally, we cover the model to deliver high performance praise both at work and at home.
