Praise Twice, Criticize Once: The Art of Balanced Leadership

In leadership, it is crucial to praise people twice as often as you criticize them to foster success. This strategy, based on situational leadership, emphasizes celebrating accomplishments and offering gratitude frequently. Instead of the outdated 'shit sandwich' method, where criticism is sandwiched between two praises, it is advised to provide two praises at different times during the day and one criticism, as well as two thank-yous and one private criticism throughout the week. The approach suggests celebrating twice as often as setting new goals, maintaining a balance in acknowledgment and improvement feedback.
