Top 5 Ways to Be Better at Giving and Receiving Praise

Top 5 Ways to Be Better at Giving and Receiving Praise

1. Be Specific, Not Generic

  • Giving: Instead of “Good job,” say “I really appreciated how you stepped up to lead the meeting today—it brought clarity and confidence to the whole team.”

  • Receiving: Acknowledge it with gratitude and, if appropriate, reflect on what specifically helped you succeed.

    2. Be Timely

  • Giving: Praise is most powerful when it's fresh. Don’t wait for formal reviews—speak up as soon as you notice something great.

  • Receiving: Respond promptly and graciously. A simple “Thank you, that means a lot” goes a long way.

    3. Make It Personal

  • Giving: Tailor your praise to the individual’s values or effort. People are more moved when the praise shows that you see them.

  • Receiving: Don’t deflect or downplay. Accept that someone noticed your contribution—own it with humility.

    4. Focus on Effort and Impact

  • Giving: Highlight the hard work, problem-solving, or collaboration that led to success—not just the outcome.

  • Receiving: Recognize your role in the bigger picture, and consider how your work helped the team.

    5. Practice the Praise Loop
