January 15: Be Specific

Don’t just hand out praise—make it meaningful. Specific, timely feedback turns compliments into coaching moments. Engage your team by telling them exactly what they did right.

Specific feedback drives action.

Vague praise doesn’t help your team grow. Be clear about what actions were effective and why they made a difference. This specificity guides repeat performance and improvement.

Take Action: Practice giving specific feedback in your next team interaction. Focus on clear descriptions of actions and their positive impact.
