Positive feedback, if sincere and done well, motivates people to achieve even more
for the higher good of Rotary. Remember a time when you've received really high
quality positive feedback - what did it feel like? How long did you remember it?
Thinking about goal setting and strategy setting for Rotary - how much feedback do
we give each other when doing this? How much might people need?
How often do we reinforce how people are living out the goals/the Rotary motto/the
4 way test etc? How do we acknowledge the contribution of the more experienced
Rotarians for the legacy they're leaving (we all stand on their shoulders) and how
often do we say 'thank you for the strategic planning' and 'visioning' that you did in
your term as President! AG or DG?

International surveys on the needs of people in the workplace, indicate that people
want two things.
1) to be valued by their boss (read Rotary Committee Chair) and
2) to get more feedback about what they do well
Why would Rotarians in their voluntary work be any different - we all want to be
appreciated. Appreciation is motivating and may even be a 'retention strategy' for
Rotary. Receiving positive feedback is said to build self-confidence which can lead
directly to improved performance - whether this is voluntary or in paid work.
