Question

who are never publicly criticized ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

One of your employees shows up unprepared for an important meeting. A couple of people are continually chit chatting instead of working. Someone else comes in late and leaves early almost every day.

Your first reaction as a manager might be to call those people out right when you see the behavior, either to nip it in the bud or to make an example of them and demonstrate to everyone that you’re in charge and paying attention.

But that sort of public criticism can backfire — in a big way.
