“It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend of his faults. If you are angry with a man, or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words; but so to love a man that you cannot bear to see the stain of a sin upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words –that is friendship.”
Henry Ward Beecher 1813-1887
When you provide feedback to any of your employees do you give feedback from a place of love or from a place of “I am better than you.” It makes a difference and can have a profound impact on the effectiveness of the feedback.
