The book whose title is "praise subordinates" means, that there is a default setting of "do not praise subordinates"
This indicates that the cost of rebuking is cheaper than "praising".
Unfortunately, it is I think that's true.
It is so, I think recently as follow,
"Like button" should be installed in a company IT system.
For example, if someone makes a good article by PowerPoint or Word, we can push "Like button" on the materials.
If there is a proposal of good content by e-mail, "I like it!" will be attached without replying in the sentence on the mail system.
Employee profile web site, we can push "Like button" on the site, if the worker leave the office in regular time.

Well, it is not difficult to predict the organisation would go move in strange direction,
Still,
I think the effect can be expected to lower the threshold of that "praise".
