"The sandwich method" - technique for offering a correction
Distinction#5 Entrepreneurs give and receive praise and correction.
Employees don't praise and try to avoid correction.
I enjoy praising my co-workers. If praised, I try to re-direct the praise towards my team. If need be, I often use the sandwich method to offer correction.
The sandwich method consists of giving praise, followed by the correction, and lastly ending it with praise. This takes away the defensiveness and allows the person to hear the correction without being defensive.
I find that a most employees are insecure and seldom give praise as if praising takes away from them. And God knows they hate any corrections. Correction for me is simply feedback on what I need to improve on. It is information that I can use to get better. I do not take it personal unless it is offered by someone I do not trust.
Today's question is:
"Do you avoid correction?"
