How do you tell an employee that their behavior during a meeting was inappropriate? And is there a way to couch it so they change?
It takes skill, but you can give feedback that encourages, rather than discourages. Just make sure you don’t sugarcoat it, says Ellen Taaffe, a clinical assistant professor of management and organizations.
“I think that sometimes on our way to trying to be nice and fair and not insulting to someone, sometimes we’re not clear.”
After all, how can anyone improve if they don’t think anything is wrong? In this episode of The Insightful Leader, we look at how to give tactful feedback that helps people improve.
