"Catch People Doing Something Right, Accentuate the Positive."

That's incredible.

It's advice I keep giving to friends, particularly in the context of parenting autistic kids.

I put it a little differently - catch your kid doing something right, even if it's only by accident, and praise him for it, and you'll teach good behaviour.

Your kid's a non-stop screamer and won't keep quiet? Put her in her 'safe place' and close the door. As soon as she's quiet, even if it's just to draw breath, open the door and make a big fuss about her.

Nice to hear that the same can work for employees.

I think it's like that saying, you get what you measure -- but in this case, you get more of what you reward.

Excellent job! Your post was very informative. A dear friend of mine sent me your post because of my relationship with Blanchard. I have worked with Ken for four years and can honestly say that he is the genuine article. He is an amazing man that lives these beliefs everyday of his life. I am a product of the Blanchard teachings and will forever be in his debt. As Ken says "None of us is as smart as all of us" thank you helping your readers reach excellence in life.

Thanks Johnny!

> he is the genuine article

That's what really struck me about him. He's a wealth of wisdom and he walks his talk.

You have a great mentor.
