Thank you for the refresher! I'm in a new top leadership role and already have to address a problematic team leader. 🤨 I tend to not want to hurt others' feelings and am guilty of sugar coating my feedback. I needed to be reminded that this doesn't help the person or effectively address the problem. I will work on this! 👍

living abroad of my motherland ..it's so sweet to notice my lovely Minsk on 21-22 sec of the video😍😄

Great video! Truly covers what is important while giving constructive feedback

[OneWhoWas]

Well done.

I also find if your feed back is structurally consistent everytime, it doesn't seem as offensive. Positive or negative.

Behavior, impact, correction/assurement

If you're positive and negative feedback is consistent, it's also much easier to document. At least for me it is.

[phibuunguyen]

i love how you give specific examples, very easy to understand

[MJKelly-ho]

I believe that this information can be used in any situation....Many times we employ people to help us around the house....Many times we need to let them know how they can be more helpful fot us.

[serena_collins]

This is so helpful! I learned the whole positivity sandwich technique before, but now I can see how that can cause confusion. Your video helped me to see how the positive part in being clear with negative feedback is providing the support for the person along their journey! ❤️

It’s not negative feedback. It’s developmental feedback.

[EpicDreamer_]

Thank you dear Kara! As an employee and lead of some projects I always have that kind of mindset when it comes to working with people and giving right info to managers for my proper actions. What, Why and What If logic is something that is being used in decision making as well. Your videos are really good, I wish you all success that you deserve with your work you gave us! Much appreciated.

This is some really good advice, thank you :)

I know this isn't a one-size-fits all solution you're providing and that they're guidelines to keep in mind, but how do I ensure my team member does not feel offended by the negative feedback? There will surely be people who see that you're giving them feedback for their improvement, but at the same time, certain people will be offended, because we're all humans and humans are an emotional, social species.

That sometimes leaves me unsettled. Also sometimes as a leader, you just have so much going on that dealing with one person and their one specific problem ends up not being as high in your priority list as you'd like. How do you deal with that?

The concept is very interesting, learned a lot。thank❤

02:21 I know this video is targeted at workplace scenarios, and productivity is the priority... But I do feel like patience can go a long way... Long therm that is..

What do you recommend if they are performing both good and poorly in regards to different elements of their job?

[lauraradu]

In my opinion, sugracoating and alternating positive and negative feedback are not the same thing. Sugarcoating is when I tell someone what they have done wrong, and then I add " but don't worry, it's not that bad". That's confusing. However, if I alternate positive and developmental feedback, as long as everything I say is factual and valid, the person gets a complete idea of how they are doing. If it's in an "end of year review " context, just make sure you mention the actual rating, and don't assume they understood from the discussion. ❤
