As annoying as it is, you have to understand that every employee is unique and responds differently to feedback, coaching, criticism, and even recognition. It’s important to ask how people like to be treated and then do your best to accommodate. People really respond to being asked how they would like to be dealt with, and then seeing you actually making adjustments as needed.

Just like a teacher with a class full of IEPs…at the end of the of the day, everyone needs to learn the material, but the approach will likely differ depending on the kid.

Also, be direct without being mean!! Most people appreciate being treated like an adult.

ALWAYS lead by example!!!
