When do you give positive feedback to people? Tell me about the last time you did.

"I have found that positive feedback is the best overall motivator for my employees. Therefore, I try to give positive feedback as often as I can. I also try to give feedback as close in proximity to the action I am trying to reinforce. I try not to overpraise, so when I give positive feedback, the employees know it's genuine. A couple of months ago, I noticed the extra work that a team member put in for a difficult hiring manager. When they made a great hire for the manager's team, I called that out in our bi-weekly team meeting, and the employee felt great about that little acknowledgment among our team."
