The Secret to Giving Feedback with Confidence

The "shit sandwich" might be the most common feedback technique in management, and it's also one of the worst. In this clip from Episode 8 of People Are the Worst, Lucy and Lindsey break down why sandwiching constructive feedback between two pieces of praise wastes time, why most managers don't give nearly enough feedback in the first place, and how to build the confidence to actually do it well.

If you're a new manager who feels insecure about giving feedback, or a seasoned one whose 360 results keep saying "more feedback please," this one's for you. Lucy and Lindsey walk through how to prepare feedback, how to signal good intent, the question to ask before you deliver it, and the truth about where confidence actually comes from.
