No Ifs, Ands or Buts
Here is one common mistake that many business owners make: They say to a worker, "You did a great job on that project, but ..." The problem is that the employee only remembers the "but" part of the comment. Instead of boosting the employee's spirits, he or she may end up demoralized and discouraged.
It is a small thing, but practice removing the "but" from your statements. Better to give a straightforward "well done" comment, when deserved, and leave it at that. Don't feel the need to include criticism in every communication. You may find that this will have a positive psychological effect on your workers.
