"Good job."
According to Business2Community, you should make it clear you value your subordinates' work and boost their confidence, especially if they are trying hard and at some point do a really good job. In such cases you should praise the work of the person concerned in front of the whole team.
"Good point."
Encourage employees to voice their ideas and suggestions. There is nothing worse than a team being afraid to speak up in front of their manager. Always try to listen to employees, support them in their innovative thinking and have discussions about their ideas.
"Remember our team's long-term goal."
One of the main tasks of a manager is to give the team an inspiring, common vision. This vision should not only be presented to the team; they also need to be reminded of it regularly and motivated to try to achieve it together.
"What can we learn from this mistake?"
If an employee makes a genuine mistake which is not fatal, you should motivate them at all costs to learn from it. Support them, do not criticise them unnecessarily and help them learn.
"I know I can trust you with this task."
You best develop employees by giving them increasingly complex tasks, teaching them to work on their own and gradually giving them greater power. Prior to any task of a larger nature, you should make it clear to the employee that you trust them, thus providing them with the self-confidence they need.
