Compliments play a crucial role in nurturing relationships. Research shows that successful teams maintain a ratio of 5.6 compliments for every criticism, while lower-performing teams show the opposite.
According to the Gottman Institute, happy couples maintain a 'magic ratio' of 5 positive interactions to every negative one, highlighting the importance of praise in personal relationships.
While compliments can strengthen bonds and improve performance at work and home, they must be sincere and skillfully delivered to avoid becoming ineffective or even harmful.
Giving compliments effectively requires an understanding of interpersonal dynamics. When done right, praise acts as a crucial adhesive for maintaining both professional and personal relationships.
