Let \(H\) be a finite-dimensional quaternionic Hilbert space and let \(\text{Herm}(H)\) be the Jordan algebra of all Hermitian operators on \(H\). The author proves that, for all \(a,b\in\text{Herm}(H)\), the norm estimate \(\| U_{a,b}\|\leq 1/2\| a\| \| b\|\) holds, where \(U_{a,b}\) is the operator on \(\text{Herm}(H)\) defined by \(U_{a,b}(x)=1/2(axb+bxa)\), \(x\in\text{Herm}(H)\). In fact, it is observed that \(1/2\) is the best constant for which the estimate holds true. This result improves a previous result of the same author [Linear Algebra Appl. 367, 235--242 (2003; Zbl 1050.46054)].
