Praise

Praise should be prompt. Why? It maximizes your leadership impact while also letting people know that they’re on the right track. You don’t bide your time when you need to tell your team members they need to improve, and giving praise should be no different. No matter how busy you are, taking time to stop and thank a team member for outstanding work always pays off. Just be sure to be sincere: Say what you mean and mean what you say.
