How to tell someone their work is sloppy (and actually get them to change their ways)

<p>There is no one right way to do it, but the thumb rule is to bring it to your supervisor first before tackling it. It gives the process weight and the supervisor may have a better idea about the work ethics of the person. When you sit to talk with him you should 1) Put aside any negative feelings 2) Don&rsquo;t assume bad intent 3) Address it early &amp; privately 4) Reflect on the person&rsquo;s history 5) Consider your own role 6) Ask thoughtful questions 7) Give examples - but avoid being accusatory.</p>
