See, I like to use the compliment sandwich, when I work with employees. You start with a compliment around their past performance. the you lay down the meat of the issue, talking about the mistake or mistep or screw up. then you close the sandwich with a compliment. So a example of it.
"Hey Jenny, you know you're one of the go to people on this team, you are reliable and hardworking and you hit deadlines and your work is always good. That's why I was surprised when you submitted your last project in crayon, it was illegible and looks like you did it on the bus to work this morning. But I did notice that you bought a new car, so that's a thing."
Then yell, "Get out of my office"
Management 101 baby.
