Having started my working life around three months before the Global Economic Crisis hit, and watching colleague after colleague being made redundant throughout the media industry, I certainly would never have wanted to swap places with the people who had to give the bad news to their employees over and over during that time.<\/p>\n<p>But while over time, some colleagues remembered the action of being made redundant, for others the way they were told stuck in their minds longer than the pain of having to pack up their things and reconsider their lives at a moments\u2019 notice. If you have to deliver bad news, it will always be tough, but the aim is to do it in a way which leaves the bad memory without you in it.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my participants are controllers. Delivering bad news is one of the challenges they find extremely difficult to overcome in English. While one popular theory is that giving negative feedback to English speakers might follow a hamburger approach \u2013 i.e., give some positive feedback (the top bun), followed by the negative (the meat), and finished with a positive plan for the future (the bottom bun), in my experience most employees value honesty far more than any trick designed to make them feel better. There is a need to be respectful, but a positive bun full of too much sugar won\u2019t cut it when the negative meat needs to be delivered hard and fast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hs.targettraining.eu\/onep\/merry-christmas\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13022 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-257x300.png\" alt=\"xmas\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-107x125.png 107w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-64x75.png 64w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-603x705.png 603w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-450x526.png 450w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas.png 716w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 257px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 257\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13022 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-257x300.png\" alt=\"xmas\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-107x125.png 107w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-64x75.png 64w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-603x705.png 603w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas-450x526.png 450w, https:\/\/www.targettraining.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/xmas.png 716w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right\"><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right\">Free Download<\/h3>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>33 ways of saying Merry Christmas to colleagues, customers, suppliers and close contacts <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-u1br1m-22809c271a12930966e7b1352afe03f4\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-u1br1m-22809c271a12930966e7b1352afe03f4{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-u1br1m-22809c271a12930966e7b1352afe03f4 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h2>\n<h2>\u201cWould you rather get a bullet in the head or five to the chest and bleed to death?\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Billy Beane summed it up well in the movie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jXEtOPMW2hM\">Moneyball<\/a>, when he taught his intern Peter Brand how to cut players from their team. \u201cWould you rather get a bullet in the head or five to the chest and bleed to death?\u201d, he asks when discussing the prospect of firing someone. There are a number of things to be learned from the tactic Billy uses throughout the movie, who in real life was lauded for his business sense within the sport of baseball. They would include the following:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Understand who you\u2019re talking to<\/h3>\n<p>When giving negative news to a baseball player, you might need to sweeten it less than when giving it to a secretary renowned for being slightly sensitive to change. What are the main personality traits of the person you are talking to from your experience? Are they culturally inclined to handle the truth quickly? Do your research first on who they are are you will get a better idea how to handle the situation.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Sugar coating the truth doesn\u2019t make it better<\/h3>\n<p>Saying nice things around the bad news won\u2019t make the person feel better. Some cultures don\u2019t use imperatives nearly as often as others (i.e. I hear German clients saying \u2018do this please\u201d while British clients might say \u201ccould you do this please?\u2019), but all cultures value honesty. Keep your wording polite but also keep the sentences short and to the point.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t mislead in the hopes of saving someone from bad news<\/h3>\n<p>At all times, the aim should be to give all the information you have and in the simplest way to understand. Like ripping off a bandaid, it will hurt less in the long run. People always find out the truth one way or another if you try to embellish the reasons behind the bad news. If you don\u2019t know the answer to something, say so!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Keep it short<\/h3>\n<p>People don\u2019t appreciate receiving emails with three paragraphs giving them the important news right in the last paragraph. They don\u2019t appreciate the meetings that go for what feels like an eternity before having bad news dropped right at the end like a bomb. Give the bad news quickly and succinctly and then allow time afterwards for explanations and questions. In my first job, when we found out 30% of our department had been made redundant \u2013 explaining why they weren\u2019t in the meeting \u2013 I certainly appreciated getting the news first up without a long winded explanation first.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Be confident<\/h3>\n<p>Billy oozes confidence throughout Moneyball and it\u2019s one of the reasons he was so successful at his craft; and he shows in this clip that the second you are on the back foot after giving negative information, you will fall into a hole that is difficult to get out of. Be confident in what you are delivering and why you have to say it, even if you are faking it. Practice beforehand if you find it difficult.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you deliver bad news?<\/h2>\n<p>An exercise I often do with my clients is to watch the video and discuss whether they think it\u2019s a good way to deliver bad news to their English speaking co-workers and how they think this method is effective or ineffective. While it is certainly an extreme way to deliver such news; direct, honest and without any flowery language around the sides as Peter quickly learns and applies; it is a good example of showing that cultural stereotypes don\u2019t always apply when you need to tell someone something they don\u2019t want to hear.<\/p>\n<p>What tactics have you found to be helpful when delivering bad news? Would you give it like Billy does in Moneyball? Comment below with your feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it ever possible to give bad news in a good way?
