First thing is be like my mom and say, you know, I'm just so happy how well you all turned out.
Say that first.
You know, when I do performance appraisals, when I do performance reviews, my direct subordinates, my reports, my direct reports, I always start out with the positive stuff.
I don't start right off with, okay, here's some things that you're messing up that you need to be doing better.
It's important to have that part of the conversation too, because you need to help the person achieve more and do better.
But you want to start the conversation with, I really want to congratulate you for X, Y, Z. I really want to appreciate.
I want to express my appreciation because you've done one, two and three.
But it's got to be sincere.
It can't be phony baloney, false flattery.
That is like you're better off not saying anything than giving phony compliments.
But you should.
I try to.
rearrange my brain so I appreciate a person and say, well, why did I hire this person in the first place?
What did I love in this person?
What did I admire?
What did I respect?
What really made them real high in my estimation?
And then translate that to, okay, how is that materialized in what they've done?
And what concrete things have they done?
Not have compliments that are just like general compliments, but have very specific concrete compliments of, you know, you did this, this, and this.
