The best manager that I've ever had to help motivate me gave me helpful criticism. So although I may need to improve, as we all do, in roles in my job, he would bring it to me in a positive. So glows and grows is what we would like to call them. A few glows that I was doing well in, a few areas that I need to grow in, and then continued in closing our meeting with the final glows that I was doing well in. I like the sandwich approach. So then you don't leave a meeting feeling like that you are not doing well in your position. However, we are all human and we all need to grow, so having them grows in there is necessary.
