Most managers give feedback. Few give feedback that actually works. Drawing on her background in psychology and executive coaching, Renee St Jacques breaks down what so many well-intentioned leaders get wrong — and introduces a three-part framework to help teams rebuild trust and perform at their best. (Recorded at TEDxFiesole on May 4, 2025)

Bullshit read contractual law and other laws and adhere to it.. do it bettter than law requires. Win.
You can behave against everyones interest with politeness.. you can rob a person and destroy a person politely.. and impolitely.

Sandwitching feedback would be an option when only written comminication is possible but verbally that would not be my choice.
I rather provide the message unfiltered first, pauze for dramatic effect, then soften the blow.
Descreetly so nobody loses face and i get the cooperation i need.

Hey TED team! Your business and leadership videos are incredibly inspiring. Please consider enabling YouTube’s new AI Auto-Dubbing feature for the Russian language on your channel.

Pay me accordingly or I’ll work somewhere else. Im Currently a licensed engineer that is underpaid for 12 years experience but my boss refuses raises. Sadly im in a niche corner of engineering so I’ve been unhirable after years of applying. Sucks im doomed in this field to never surpass $100k😢😢

Sandwich technique is out-dated idiocy meant to cushion the blow. Communicate the need for improvement of what the employee is expected to deliver. Criticize not the person, but their product, and illustrate with evidence precisely how that product currently falls short of the expected standard.
