During one of my projects, I had to pull an employee to the side to correct behavior.

I let him know that was not my intention and apoligized if it made him feel that way. I learned that it is best to quietly pull employees to the side when their performance needs to be corrected.

When I first became a sup and coordinate projects. I had one move that made me realize how important communication was and how it could impact every project.
