Cons of the feedback sandwich
- It can build more tension and confusion between managers and direct reports. The feedback sandwich lends itself to a reactive approach as opposed to proactive coaching. If you’re receiving a feedback sandwich, it’s likely that you haven’t asked for it.
- It isn’t culturally inclusive. The feedback sandwich operates on a very Western and, arguably, American -style of communication.
- It can create more anxiety for your employees. They know when there’s a little dance around the elephant in the room.
- It can encourage bad listening habits. An employee can choose to only focus on the positive (even if th
ey did hear the negative).
