feedback conflict team building liberating structures

Creating a climate of appreciative personal feedback can dramatically boost performance for individuals and groups. It is possible to begin turning a vicious self-reinforcing cycle of negative gossip—that stifles risk-taking and innovation—into a virtuous self-reinforcing cycle of positive feedback. Positive Gossip is an antidote to a strongly felt discontent and indifference that spreads informally from person to person (a form of acute proliferative dysphoria). A generalized malaise in which “things will not get better, only worse.” A robust pattern of positive feedback can eliminate the need for extrinsic rewards and incentive programs (e.g. free coffee coupons, stickers, awards ceremonies).
