When people perform poorly, it feels intuitive to explain how they can do better on their next attempt. Through constructive criticism, we provide details where the performer can improve their strategy, process, or behavior to be able to execute correctly on their next attempt. On the flip side, it’s easy to say, “Great job!” and leave it at that when someone succeeds. We often think if the performer got it right, obviously they will be able to repeat it. That’s not always true. We can do something well and not understand how our preparation or performance was critical to our success. Effective praise is adding an extra sentence to the “Great job!” In this additional sentence, you explain specifically what that person did right in regard to their process, effort, and skill.
