a Giving Appropriate Feedback as a Leader by joekellyotc | Aug 2, 2022 | joe kelly otc global holdings, professional overview
Giving feedback can be difficult. Many of us don’t have the skills to confront people effectively, and it’s easy to worry that we’ll offend someone or generate a bad reaction. Here are some tips to make the feedback go a bit more smoothly.
Use the critique sandwich This is an age-old suggestion, but it works! Think of two things that the person does well. Tell them the first compliment, then give them constructive feedback, then close with another compliment. For example, you might say, “I’ve noticed that you always do an excellent job on your reports, but they tend to run late. I wanted to talk to you a bit about that.” After you have the conversation about the late reports, you might close with, “I’m glad that you’re willing to take on these projects. You’re really a team player!” The critique sandwich lets the individual know that you appreciate them and that you notice how hard they work, even though you still have to give them feedback. https://joekellyotcglobalholdings.net/giving-appropriate-feedback-as-a-leader/
