A quiet word on the side

Today people seem to be too quick to express their disapproval and to jump on social media to tell the world about someone’s or some place’s mistake or indiscretion.

When a problem occurs, it is best to deal with it quietly and without humiliation. On the side, out of earshot of others, tell the person the problem. In most cases the person will be embarrassed about the error and will find ways to rectify it and make sure it does not happen again.

We are all human and we will make mistakes. Only escalate a situation if the problem continues. Remember that the person on the receiving end could be you one day.
