Walk around your workplace,
catch people doing the right thing, and tell them
Dr Ken Blanchard

 
Why is it, do you think, that providing feedback to our team or crew is so difficult? Why do we say nothing to the team or crew member, but complain and groan to other colleagues? Do you think perhaps some of us see feedback as confrontational?
 
Whichever, however or whatever way we look at feedback, it is an effective leadership tool, one that if we practise and master will provide extraordinary results in an otherwise ordinary workplace environment.
