To make a hamburger you always start with the bun.<\/p>\n

Then you put some condiments ( mustard, relish, onions etc.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Then the meat.<\/p>\n

Then maybe some more condiments (ketchup, mayonnaise etc.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Then the other part of the bun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that’s exactly how to address \/scold \/correct someone’s mistake.<\/p>\n

First a greeting of some sort.<\/p>\n

Then a compliment.<\/p>\n

Then, and only<\/strong> then,<\/em> what you really want to say.<\/p>\n

Especially if it’s something less-than-good.<\/p>\n

Then, maybe another compliment.<\/p>\n

Then a farewell.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hey, Charlie, I was just coming to see you!<\/p>\n

That was a great job on the Jones account last week.<\/p>\n

I notice on your latest memo you need to change the promised dates of delivery.<\/p>\n

You know we simply can’t meet them.<\/p>\n

Anyways, nice seeing you again.<\/p>\n

Keep up the good work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will be surprised how well this works.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
