Why these phrases are effective

Well, it’s about U.S. culture. Positive feedback is extremely important to keep your team members motivated. It is simply not optional. As for negative feedback, my U.S. culture tip is to soften it and wrap it up in a so-called positivity sandwich. Being too direct and harsh with your feedback could lead to a lot of problems so try to avoid being to critical.
