Comment on How to correct a team member: avoid my damaging rookie mistakesparent

Add to that that praise is often more effective than correction, particularly for more junior folks.

If I can praise and lift up 95% of what someone is doing, they will do more of that, and less of the 5% that I'd otherwise like to see be done better — unless that 5% has a disproportionate amount of damage to the organization.
