At Positioning Systems and Gazelles you know by now that we’re big fans of Jim Collins books Good to Great, Built to Last, and How the Mighty Fall. When Collins new book, Great by Choice arrived last week I just had to pick it up. If you receive Verne Harnish’s weekly newsletter you know that he’s reading it as well.

Imagine it’s the biggest moment of your life. Your opportunity for glory. The moment professionally you’ve practiced and prepared for.

Aubrey Daniels in Bringing Out the Best in People insists leaderships’ role in the employee feedback loop is, “… is not to find fault or place blame, but to analyze why people are behaving as they are, and modify the consequences to promote the behavior they need.”

Usually during tough times managers get tough. They succumb to the pressure and use more punishment and negative reinforcement. Why is this a recipe for disaster? If both positive and negative reinforcement get results why should we care?

We’ve looked at the importance and frequency of positive reinforcement in previous blogs, How the Best Managers and Leaders Deliver Positive Reinforcement and Employee Feedback – The Need for Frequent Positive Reinforcement. Employee Feedback falls into Strategic Discipline's fundamental practices for effective meeting rhythms. When we address customer and employee feedback in workshops and with our clients, frequently there’s confusion and misunderstanding about what this means. It’s often because companies have their rhythms with regard to employees and staff and forget how critical their happiness and engagement can impact the bottom line growth of their business.

How often do you need to reinforce? Dawn of Impatience shares Aubrey Daniel’s Bringing Out the Best In People’s view why since 1984 the influence and commitment to positive reinforcement has steadily increased.

Small things add up. When it comes to producing results from positive reinforcement a small difference influences results dramatically. Most effective leaders, managers, and supervisors do not necessarily reinforce more often than ineffective ones. It’s the detail of what they focus on that makes them better. Discipline to this detail compounds over time. It delivers steady pressure on the fly wheel which Jim Collins notes distinguishes the Good to Great companies. Eventually it provides the impetus to breakthrough. There is no miracle moment. Breakthrough only comes through daily discipline of doing the right things right.
