In this short talk, Brian Walsh advocates for a simple yet powerful leadership habit: delivering positive feedback to employees every day. He recommends maintaining at least a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative feedback, ideally 5:1 or higher. By consistently highlighting positive actions, leaders begin to notice and reinforce the behaviors they want to see more of, creating a virtuous cycle of awareness and improvement. The core message is that daily positive feedback expands a leader’s focus to the good that happens each day, fostering a more supportive and high‑performing workplace.

The simple shift is to give positive feedback on a daily basis. That's it. That's all you need to do is daily give positive feedback to your employees. A good rule of thumb is that you should, at a minimum, be giving positive feedback three to one to negative feedback, and really better if you could be at 5 to 1 or more. So when we think about giving positive feedback, it actually opens up an entire new range of possibilities because you are going to start looking for positive acts, you're going to start looking for behavior you want to see continue. You're going to start noticing all the good things that happen each and every day.
