Description
Most workplace learning happens in the course of the day, during encounters with employees, co-workers, and supervisors. Instead of seeking out colleagues only to tell them they are doing something wrong, or to ask them a favor, why not use your time to coach: catch them doing it right, tell them what they are doing right, and reward them with attention and praise. Works better than a constant rain of criticism.
