Praise or Penalty - Changing Workplaces

Debates continue to rage over whether to spot what works or call what does not. You may be surprised to see research support though ... for more praise to replace traditional business trends which tend to be weighted heavier in penalties. How so?

More business leaders are tapping the neuroscience to see inside the braiscales_of_justice.jpgn for new ways to boost business. For instance researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and MIT recently showed which parts of the brain operate buying decisions. Not so … where old habits prevail over new research though.

Is praise or penalty used more where you work? Which do you prefer?

The question’s been debated since business began. It’s back with new vigor, however. While backslapping or finger pointing  still hold passionate supporters on both sides …  scientific evidence find some people changing their votes.  You?

Research suggests a more lasting value of praise. From buying decisions to hiring practices … this finding makes sense when you look at the improved diagnostic tools that show how human brains influence people and affect behaviors.

So what does that have to do with whether to promote or penalize at work? Surprisingly … a great deal more than you likely realize.

Praise … it turns out … trumps penalty … for a good reason. Why so? It boosts dopamine – the brain chemical that fuels motivation and sparks innovation for better productivity at work. Will that change who gets thumbs up for something well done … in spite of other parts they may have left undone? What do you think?
