When I was a civilian supervisor a similar approach was used and it was very effective most of the time. There will be some people that are just not receptive to negative feedback though and are much more challenging. I used to have to put much more preparation into theirs. It could be mentally draining.
As far as the wife, I approach with extreme caution LOL
Especially these days for a lot of people who have lived in digital silos, anything negative is taken as a personal attack, like they have had their fingers cut off.
For sure. I find people who have no emotional-control, very draining too.
One day, I will learn.
Glad to see you around the woods here :)
It's good to be back on my feet and back at it.
Fantastic!
