Tell Them How

In working with people, it is not enough to say something like “you’re doing great” or “Lookin' good”.

Give them specifics. 

Let them know in exact words HOW they are pulling off ‘great’.  Give specific examples and instances of just what they have done recently that qualifies as “great”.

Positive esteem followed up with examples reinforces the behavior and helps us want to do more of that kind of good work.

This is just one more critical people skill worth knowing.
