Feedback Sandwich [Lifehack]

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

I always have some trouble criticize someone. Whether it’s too harsh or too soft, it’s just not working. But, I know that if it’s done properly will make someone change their behavior. Maybe the feedback sandwich is a good solution. Feedback sandwich means that you give a feedback between positive encouragement. Some tips :

  • Stay Positive: If you go into this with a positive attitude the exercise will have a positive outcome. Likewise, a negative attitude on your part will guarantee a futile result.
  • Practice: It’s a good idea to practice in front of a mirror - or better yet in front of another person - before you do this. You want the presentation to be smooth with a good flow.
  • Coach Regularly: If you make this a normal routine, you will get better and the individuals you are coaching will become less apprehensive about it. Don’t become obsessive about it, though, or you will lose both credibility and impact.
