The sandwich rule

When you want to be critical of someone or want them to change certain attitudes or inaccuracies follow the sandwich rule!

Begin each interaction with a group or individual as follows:ù

  1. highlight some positive elements of their recent performance,
  2. continue by expressing directly what is not going well and why,
  3. explain what you expect them to do differently,
  4. give each person responsibility that is specific and not general,
  5. states that you will hold them totally accountable for the tasks given to them,
  6. strongly emphasize that you expect this change to happen immediately,
  7. conclude by acknowledging some other positive aspect that you have noticed.

In summary: a critique between two positives things is best digested, but remember that the sandwich will need to be adequately filled!
