📚Article of the week

Your 3-step approach to delivering effective constructive criticism

If you're the one that relies on a "Feedback sandwich" when delivering criticism then you might be surprised to find out that this actually creates distrust in employees. A much better approach is to use constructive criticism to deliver the feedback where you also give suggestion on how to fix it, and also verbalize what the good looks like.

Have a great time on TEAM'22 whether you're joining from Vegas, online, or on one of the viewing parties 🎉 and thank you @Cody Wooten {Appfire} for joining us to announce the latest Appfire acquisition👏!
