The Feedback Sandwich

The Feedback Sandwich is a communication technique used to deliver constructive criticism effectively. It involves three key components: start with positive feedback, then address the area needing improvement, and conclude with another positive remark. This approach helps soften the impact of criticism and encourages the recipient to be more receptive. By framing the feedback in this way, it balances encouragement with necessary guidance, making it easier for individuals to understand and act on suggestions without feeling demoralized. This method is commonly used in workplaces, performance reviews, and educational settings to promote growth and learning.
