“People thrive on positive reinforcement. They can take only a certain amount of criticism and you may lose them altogether if you criticize them in a personal way…you can make a point without being personal. Don’t insult or belittle your people. Instead of getting more out of them you will get less.”
"My experience is that it doesn’t happen that way. Others follow you based on the quality of your actions rather than the magnitude of your declarations."
- Bill Walsh
