The Importance of Written Positive Feedback
Positive feedback is essential in every role, whether you're a leader, supervisor, coach, team member, or parent. While verbal praise is beneficial, turning those words into written feedback can have a more enduring impact.
Why Written Feedback Matters
1. It Stands Out: Written feedback is rare, making it particularly valuable. The effort to articulate your thoughts on paper underscores the importance of the feedback to the recipient.
2. It’s Permanent: Unlike verbal feedback, which relies on memory, written feedback can be preserved indefinitely. Memories fade, but a written note remains, serving as a lasting reminder of one's worth and achievements.
3. Encourages Repetition: A handwritten note is likely to be read multiple times, reinforcing its message. Verbal praise doesn’t have the same opportunity for repetition or reflection.
How to Provide Written Feedback
1. Send a Letter: A simple, heartfelt note expressing your appreciation can make a significant impact. Don’t delay; write it as soon as you think of it.
2. Use “I Like You Because”: Inspired by Zig Ziglar, this method involves using a sentence starter like “I Like You Because” to detail the specific behaviors you appreciate. Create your own version on paper or digitally to make it easier to give feedback.
3. Thank You Notes: Writing thank-you notes is an effective way to express gratitude and offer positive feedback. Aim to write more of these, including specific feedback in each.
4. Send an Email: Although a handwritten note is often more personal, an email can be a quick and effective alternative. A few lines acknowledging someone’s good work can be saved and revisited.
The Impact of Written Feedback
The power of written feedback is profound. Many stories illustrate how a simple note can bolster confidence, help navigate tough times, and contribute to success. This knowledge underscores our responsibility to provide such feedback.
Think of someone who could benefit from your written words of encouragement. The positive impact you could have isn’t just a possibility?"it’s a probability.
Take a moment to write that note now. You’ll not only uplift someone else but also experience the joy of thoughtful communication. You might just change a life in the process.
