Research shows that feedback interventions can often backfire and more than one-third of feedback conversations actually decrease performance. As a manager, giving feedback is something you will probably do as the most frequent part of any continuous performance management process.

You may think of how your team interacts in a meeting, if employees hang out with one another after hours, or if there’s a table tennis tournament lighting up your office. But culture goes beyond that , and is created by the sum of your—and everyone else’s—behaviors and actions. One important element that defines and reinforces work culture is employee promotions.
