Correct in Private, Praise in Public

Correction is part of leadership—but how and where you do it determines whether it builds or breaks.

Public correction creates shame. It shuts people down.

But public praise? That builds culture. That says, “I see you—and so does everyone else.”

Jesus corrected His disciples often—but He never did it to humiliate. He called them up, not out.

Today, if someone needs correction, pull them aside. Quiet voice. Clear standard. Full respect.
But if someone needs encouragement—say it loud. Say it with the team listening.

Private correction maintains dignity.
Public praise creates momentum.
