Every leader, supervisor, coach, team member and parent has been told of the value of giving positive feedback. We’ve heard reasons why. We’ve heard we don’t do it enough.

There is lots of advice for leaders, managers and coaches on how to give better feedback. I’ve written and taught quite a bit about it myself. But today I want to write about something else.
