Most of us find both receiving and giving feedback stressful.. or at least uncomfortable.

Add to the mix cultural differences and it can become really complicated.

Many of us are familiar with the so called sandwich method of feedback; start by sharing some positive feedback, then move to discuss the areas of improvement, or growth (weaknesses) and then finalize the discussion by committing to goals and actions that will help improve performance or growth.

The sandwich method has been taught for years in business schools, trainings and workshops. But, does it really work in every cultural context and with every person?

No.

Listen to this episode to learn about different sandwiches and how to communicate feedback effectively in global and multicultural contexts
